The Story of Aurelie
Aurélie is the French form of Aurelia, derived from the Latin 'aureus' (golden, of gold), from 'aurum' (gold). The Aurelii were one of the most distinguished plebeian families of ancient Rome — they gave the Empire Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Emperor Aurelian. The name was borne by several early Christian martyrs and has been a beloved French name since the Middle Ages.
Aurélie is consistently popular in France, Belgium, and Swiss Francophone regions, where it has ranked in the top names for girls for decades. In English-speaking countries, it appeals to Francophiles and parents who love names like Amélie and Aurelia but want something slightly less common.
