Consider this a bonus question. Even if they don't ask this question in the interview, it equips you with a fun fact about the company that you can sneak into the conversation. The company was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1982 by Patrick Ryan. The word Aon is actually a Gaelic word meaning "one."

"Yes, actually, Aon is Gaelic and means 'one.' I love this, as it is universal in Aon's purpose statement - we are united as one team. Brilliant. Fun fact, in Ireland, they don't refer to the language as Gaelic. They call it Irish."
