Possibly.
The name certainly originates from Aragon in Spain, where Catherine came from.

Aragon is a place like Castile. Catherine's title was Catharine of Aragon but that wasn't her last name per say now Aragon may be a formal name as in the duke Aragon etc. but you have to research any royal connection. Plus I don't think that any direct member of the Spanish Royal Family ever left Spain. If you are related you are on the distaff side, your ancestor was illegitimate.
Good luck

Not quite sure I understand your question but it seems you are asking the following questions: (1) is Aragon a royal name? (2) sharing it with Catherine of Aragon, would I be related?
Sorry but Aragon refers to the place in Spain. It is a region which was (from 1137 and which lasted as a separate kingdom until 1479 when Ferdinand the Catholic married Isabella of Castile, making the Kingdom of Spain. Aragón was also the name of the crown, because of the dynastic union of a Count of Barcelona (Ramon Berenguer IV) with a Queen of Aragón (Petronila of Aragon), their son inheriting all their respective territories. This Crown was effectively ended after the dynastic union with Castile (see below) but the title continued being used until 1714.
Unless you have a bloodline linking you to the House of Trastámara, you probably are not related.

Aragon was a place...Catherine OF Aragon...So your family is probably from that area, though not necessarily related to the ruling family...

Aragon is a part of Spain, not Catherine's last name.

Well, anything is possible--but Catherine's family name was Trastamara.
A more likely explanation is that one of your forbears originally came from the area in Spain that was formerly the kingdom of Aragon.

Aragon (Castilian and Aragonese: Aragón, Catalan: Aragó) is an autonomous community of north-eastern Spain. Its official name in Spanish is the "Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón." It has an area of 47,719 km² (18,424 mi²) with a population of 1,217,514 (2003). So your last name means one of your ancestors came from this region. Before last names began to be used people were often called by where they came from. So Irving Berlin and Jack London, who aren;t related to everyone in those cities. My last name comes from a type of cloth.

You could probably find that out on one of those websites that trace your geneology. However, just because your last name is Aragon doesn't mean you're related to royalty, any more than I'm related to Eva Longoria just because Longoria is my mother's maiden name.
