What is the meaning of the name Aurorah ?

The baby name Aurorah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced aw-ROH-rah,uh-ROHR-uh,/ɔːˈrɔːrə/ or /əˈrɔːrə/.

Aurorah is Latin in Origin.

Aurorah is a modern embellished spelling of Aurora, from Latin aurora, “dawn,” the name of the Roman goddess who opens the day. The meaning evokes first light, renewal, and by extension the Aurora Borealis, making it a nature-leaning choice with luminous imagery. While the terminal -h is contemporary, the name carries the same etymology and sense as its classical source.

Use of Aurora as a given name spread with the Renaissance revival of classical myth, entered English via 17th–18th‑century poetry, and rose in the 19th century; it has surged again in recent decades, aided by Disney’s Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora) and a taste for celestial names. Established variants include Aurore (French), Avrora (Russian), and Auroora (Finnish); short forms include Rory, Rori, Aura, Ora, and Rora. Aurorah remains rare; some parents add the -h to echo Norah or Sarah. Despite resemblance to the Hebrew 'or' ('light'), its origin is Latin.
