Aurelle is Latin in Origin.

Aurelle is a rare French and Occitan feminine given name derived from Latin aureus “golden” via the Roman family name Aurelius; it aligns with French forms Aurélie (f.) and Aurèle (m.). In French onomastics, the -elle ending can signal a diminutive or affectionate variant, so Aurelle reads as a soft, lyrical offshoot of Aurelia/Aurélie.

The root appears throughout Europe since antiquity, tied to the gens Aurelia and early saints such as St. Aurelia of Strasbourg; the name family revived in the 19th century and again with modern vintage trends. International variants include Aurelia (Latin/Italian/Spanish/English), Aurélie (French), Aurelie (without accents), Aurèle (French m.), Aurel (Central/Eastern European m.), Aurea and Auri as related diminutives, and Orelia/Orelie as older spellings. The enduring meaning is “golden, gilded,” suggesting radiance and worth; some modern bearers also link it to “aural” or “aurora,” but the classical root is firmly aurum, gold.
