Aurelio Saffi (August 13, 1819 – April 10, 1890: full name Marco Aurelio Saffi) was an Italian politician, active during the period of Italian unification. He was an important figure in the radical republican current within the Risorgimento movement and close to its leader and chief inspiration, Giuseppe Mazzini.
Aurelio Peccei (4 July 1908 in Turin, Piedmont – 14 March 1984), was an Italian industrialist and philanthropist, best known as co-founder with Alexander King and first president of the Club of Rome, an organisation which attracted considerable public attention in 1972 with its report, The Limits to Growth.
Aurelio Fierro (13 September 1923 – 11 March 2005) was a successful Italian actor and singer who specialized in songs in the Neapolitan dialect.
I knew a boy called this and everyone pronounced it au-RILL-ee-o. But I think they were just mispronouncing it.
A proper Italian pronunciation for Aurelio would be:Aw-Ray-LEE-Oh"Au" as in "Father", or only a slight variation. "Re" would be said as a light "aye", quickly. Depending where you're from, it may also be pronounced "REE". The "I" in "Li" is stressed to a "LEE". "O" is simply "Oh".English pronunciation, from my experience, would be:Uh-Ril-EE-Oh, or slight difference, depending on American/English accent.
I like the name, it sounds youthful and vibrant but also mature. Maybe a son of mine could pull it off as a middle name because of my partial Italian/Portuguese heritage- but I also don't think I'd want to use such an ethnic name. Aurelian would be more fitting in America, but it looks very boring on paper.
The Gothic musician known as Voltaire has cited Aurelio as his birth name.
Pronounced ow-RAYL-yoh (first syllable rhymes with now). [noted -ed]
