HH: If "baHr" mans "son," then the horns could be part of a phrase indicating a man of strength. Presumably a groom in a marriage would be a person of strength. Horns are a symbol of strength in the Old Testament.

More likely is the meaning ascribed to Moshe's "karnaim" - that his face shown so much, that rays of light protruded from it.

Keren Or = ray of light
