What is the meaning of the name Aurele ?

The baby name Aurele is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'IPA_french': '/oʁɛl/', 'respelling_french': 'oh-REL', 'english_approximation': 'AW-rel or OR-el'}.

Aurele is Latin in Origin.

Aurele is the unaccented French and English rendering of Aurèle, ultimately from the Roman family name Aurelius, derived from Latin aureus, "golden, gilded." The name conveys brightness, worth, and a warm radiance. In French it has been chiefly masculine, though it occasionally appears as unisex. English usage tends to treat Aurele as a streamlined, international form that preserves the "golden" meaning without diacritics.

Use traces back to Late Antiquity through members of the gens Aurelia and early saints named Aurelius, with enduring cultural association thanks to the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius. The spelling Aurèle/Aurele found steady favor in Québec parish records from the 19th to mid-20th centuries and is now a quiet revival choice. Related forms include Aurel (Romanian, German), Aurelio/Aurélio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Aurelius (Latin/English), and the feminine Aurelia and Aurélie; diminutives include Auri.
