Need help for my argument in a verse in Quran - delta_vvvv - 12-16-2020

So Surah Maryam is generally about Mary, the mother of Jesus. I will quickly post verses in interst. 

19-He responded, “I am only a messenger from your Lord, ˹sent˺ to bless you with a pure son.”
.
.
27-Then she returned to her people, carrying him. They said ˹in shock˺, “O Mary! You have certainly done a horrible thing!
28-O  sister of Aaron! Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.”


 And you may quickly realize why I wanted to post this here. These 2 different people are mixed up since they have same name. My friend's favorite theologist explains this as "Mary in this text indeed is not Aaron's sister. But she shares the sames roots (descendant of Amram) so they condemn her action by stating her roots. 
 Which is suspicious. I mean sister? This sound like more "kunya" as Arabs use. Is there any Jewish tradition in any Jewish tribe like this. Is there any hebrew text that such a language used for adressing a person? 
 Thank you.

No, I don't think so.

I found this:

"[...] In the Qur’an, Mary [Mary mother of the Jesus of the Christian Scriptures aka "New" Testament] is called the daughter of Imran, and sister of Aaron. This made some Jews and Christians claim that the Qur’an didn't make a difference between the time of Moses and Jesus but there is a hadith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith]. To clarify this issue Al-Mughira [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Mughira] reported:

"When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read " O sister of Aaron " in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to the prophet I asked him about that, he said: The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their children) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them" Meaning that Aaron here was not Moses' brother but another one.[1]"
