Aulora
A girl's name of Latin origin with 182 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Aulora peaked during the Gen Alpha era, when 35 babies received this name in a single year (2020). That era was defined by creative, boundary-pushing naming, and Aulora remains in active use today — a name that has outlasted its original moment.
In the most recent SSA release, Aulora ranks #6948 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Aulora is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a creative variant of Aurora, from the Latin aurora, meaning 'dawn' or 'the light of dawn.' Aurora is the Roman goddess of the dawn, who renews herself each morning and rides across the sky announcing the sun's arrival.
Aulora offers Aurora's celestial sunrise beauty in a slightly less common spelling — keeping the luminous morning imagery while feeling just different enough to feel entirely individual.
