Recognizable by look and name only, sure.
But if we're talking about origin and what Aquaman's personality and character are like, then no, the general public has no clue. |

Most people here are talking about when saying Aquaman is well known

He is probably similar to Ant-man or Ironman before they had main stream success.

I haven't watched anything related to Batman up until 1996, but I was aware of his existence years before, due to the word of mouth, some fragments of old shows and movies. |

Batman/Superman are cultural phenomenons. Even people who don't read comics, don't watch cartoons or movies, at least know who they are. It's the same thing as Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny.
Aquaman is nowhere as recognizable. As I said, Wonder Woman and Robin (Dick Grayson) are the two next most recognizable DC characters after Batman/Superman. |

I still don't believe your average Joe Blow on the street would know who Aquaman is. Or a 45 year old soccer mom named Aunt Judith.
Mainstream is someone mentioning Mickey Mouse and everyone in the world instantly knowing who that is. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Robin, Spiderman and maybe the X-men (the latter is probably pushing it though, I should just say Wolverine), are the most well known superheroes. Joe Blow, Aunt Judith, and Little Timmy may have heard the name, but they barely know who it is. |

They may be familiar with the name, but that's not the same as knowing who it is. Bring up "King of Atlantis" and they're probably more familiar with Ariel's father "King Triton" from The Little Mermaid.
You can be a mom AND an Aunt. |

Okay. As long as you knew that and weren't making a really weird mental mistake. Because it read like that.

If they are familiar with the name then he isn't an "Unknown Hero"

Pretty sure anyone who watched Super Friends as a kid knows who Aquaman is.

But seriously, in 2018 we can't be like nobody knows who he is. People know who he is. Even if BvS wasn't critically popular it made a ton of money... which means people saw him in that lame scene. And Justice League... almost the same story.
