👨 Sounds like baron, and they share a root: a baron is a man of rank
Spanish varón and English baron both come from Late Latin baro, meaning man or strong man. In Spanish the v is said like a b, so varón sounds almost exactly like baron. Varón means male in general, while hombre is the everyday word for man.
