Aurora

US Popularity:52
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 joining your family. In Roman mythology, Aurora is 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, your dreamy bundle of joy won’t have to wait around for someone else to get their life adventure started. As they rise with the sun, baby Aurora can set off and make their once upon a dream a reality. If you’re also thinking about middle names, consider The Bump community member amberrrjade's suggestion: “I really like Aurora with nature names, like Aurora Sky, Aurora Dawn, Aurora Brooke, etc.”
