English Dictionary: Hor by the DICT Development Group

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hor
      mountain. (1.) One of the mountains of the chain of Seir or
      Edom, on the confines of Idumea (Num. 20:22-29; 33:37). It was
      one of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness (33:37),
      which they reached in the circuitous route they were obliged to
      take because the Edomites refused them a passage through their
      territory. It was during the encampment here that Aaron died
      (Num. 33:37-41). (See {AARON}.) The Israelites passed
      this mountain several times in their wanderings. It bears the
      modern name of Jebel Harun, and is the highest and most
      conspicious of the whole range. It stands about midway between
      the Dead Sea and the Elanitic gulf. It has two summits, in the
      hallow between which it is supposed that Aaron died. Others,
      however, suppose that this mountain is the modern Jebel Madurah,
      on the opposite, i.e., the western, side of the Arabah.
     
         (2.) One of the marks of the northern boundary of Palestine
      (Num. 34:7, 8). Nowhere else mentioned. Perhaps it is one of the
      peaks of Lebanon.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hor, who conceives, or shows; a hill
