Aber- means "confluence, mouth (of a river)". The earliest settlement at the location of Aberdeen was at the mouth of the river Don and was called, unsurprisingly, Aberdon. The -deen part is less clear... it has something to do with either the Don or the Dee (the other major river in the area) or both. As to "who" ... the people living there. I don't think the name of the person who first called it that is actually known.
