What Does the Name Aurelie Mean?
Aurelie is a feminine given name meaning "golden." It is the English form of French Aurélie, which comes from Latin Aurelia, the feminine form of the Roman name Aurelius. Aurelius is generally explained as a derivative of Latin aureus, "golden" or "gilded," from aurum, "gold." The literal sense is "golden" or "of gold."
The English spelling usually drops the acute accent of Aurélie. Aurelie is sometimes treated as a variant of Aurelia, but its immediate source is normally the French feminine form. The meaning is descriptive rather than symbolic: it comes from the gold-related Roman name, not from a separate English word.
Aurelie Name History & Origins
The Latin name Aurelia was used in ancient Rome as the feminine form of Aurelius. It belonged to the gens Aurelia, a plebeian Roman family whose members appear in historical records. One of the best-known bearers was Aurelia Cotta, the mother of Julius Caesar. The masculine and feminine forms survived in Latin and later passed into the vernacular languages of Europe.
In French, Aurelia became Aurélie, spelled with an acute accent on the e. The name has been used in France and other French-speaking regions. English adopted it as Aurelie, commonly without the accent; the English form can also be understood as a variant of Aurelia. The related German form Aurelie follows the same Latin source.
Aurelie appears as a character in Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795 - 1796), where she is an actress. That literary use is separate from the name's older Roman and French history and is not its origin.
