Origin:
latin
Name Root:
*aus- / *aues > aurōra
Meaning:*
This name derives from Latin “aurōra,” which in turn derives from Pie (Proto Indo-European) “*aus- / *aues,” meaning “down, shine, shed light, east, the eastern peoples (used to wish the beauty and brightness of dawn).” In Roman mythology, Aurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid, she could equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter of Pallas, or the daughter of Hyperion. She has two siblings, a brother (Sol, the sun) and a sister (Luna, the moon). Rarely, Roman writers imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets and named Aurora as the mother of the Anemoi (the Winds), who were the offspring of Astraeus, the father of the stars.
