US Popularity:73
Origin:Latin
Other Origin(s):Roman
Meaning:Dawn
Aurora is a girl’s name of Latin origin. Meaning “dawn,” and calling upon images of the otherworldly aurora borealis, this ambient name could be the perfect title for the new life emerging in your family. In Roman mythology, Aurora was the goddess of sunrise, so it’s no surprise that Disney plucked this name from the stars for its own Sleeping Beauty. Unlike the princess, this dreamy little girl won’t have to wait around for someone else to get her adventure in life started. As she rises with the sun, Aurora can set off and make her once upon a dream a reality.
