Elvis was named after his father, Vernon Elvis Presley, and Mr. Presley's good friend in Tupelo, Aaron Kennedy. Aron was the spelling the Presleys chose, apparently to make it similar to the middle name of Elvis' stillborn identical twin, Jesse Garon Presley. Jesse was apparently named after Vernon's father, Jessie Presley, although the spelling was slightly different.
Toward the end of his life, Elvis sought to change the spelling of his middle name to the traditional and biblical Aaron. In the process he learned that official state records had inexplicably listed it as Aaron, and not Aron as on his original birth records. Knowing Elvis' plans for his middle name, Aaron is the spelling his father chose for Elvis' tombstone, and it's the spelling his estate has designated as the official spelling when the middle name is used today.

They thought it was spelled the other way on his birth certificate but and elvis found this out when he was reading the bible etc and wanted it changed so as a result he did not need to.
So the name on his tomb stone is correct!!!

Elvis is the king of rock and roll.
I love him so much that I am going to name the male siamese I will be getting this year after him.
I'll be calling the cat for his dinner shouting "Elvis! Elvis!"

The first answer beat me as well. But it is spelled correctly according to his birth certificate, with the use of two A's.

It's not an error that's the way it's spelled on his birth certificate.

Surely to goodness correct. It is not like his estate couldn't afford to get it changed, if it were wrong!

If it was an error don't you think that it would have been changed?
