This is a beautiful name. A bearer of this name is in the poem: Aura Lee. It could also mean 'golden light.'

A beautiful name with a graceful meaning, I think it fits a special person who is really unique!

Aura is sometimes associated with migraines and headaches which is a bit hesitating to name someone this, though it is a pretty name. A nice nickname would be "Auri" or "Aurie" instead of just Aura. A bearer of this name is Aura Catherine Williams b. July, 25 1913.

My mother's name is Aura. It's a very popular name in Guatemala and El Salvador.

A soft, beautiful name with a mysterious yet simple and radiant quality. The meaning "soft breeze" is just sweet. I think this is a lovely name. I'd name my daughter this. Though I dislike when people pronounce Aura as OR-ah, that just isn't right. Sounds like they are trying to pronounce some exotic oriental name, lol. AW-rah is the correct pronunciation, at least to my ears and my taste.

Aura means "breeze" or "soft breeze" in Greek and Latin, so its origin is Greek not English. The more original Greek name is Aure (aw-REE) which I too like, perhaps even more but it's not in the name list. I think both are just soft and lovely.

Aura was the name of the heroine in the Flash Gordon serials, made in the 1930's and 40's.

No, actually, Aura was the daughter of the evil Emperor Ming. So she was the Princess. The heroine was Dale.

An Aura is the feeling or sensation a person gets right before they have a seizure.

This is a nice name, but it's a bit new-age-y.

Aura is an extremely attractive name; Autumn and the rarer name, Autra, also have the "Au" prefix.
