Origin and meaning of Aurora

Aurora comes from the Latin aurora, “dawn”: in Roman mythology she was the goddess who opened the gates of the sky to the Sun's chariot each morning. A luminous, poetic name without a patron saint, it has sat near the top of Italy's rankings for years. It evokes a new beginning — a fitting image for a baby girl's arrival.
