Queen and Princess Names Starting With A

  1. Aureole

    • Description:

      Aureole is a delicate feminine name derived from the Latin word 'aureola,' meaning 'golden' or 'gilded.' In religious art, an aureole refers to the radiant light or halo surrounding divine figures, giving the name a spiritual, ethereal quality. This uncommon name carries associations with light, brilliance, and divine beauty. Aureole shares linguistic roots with more common names like Aurelia and Aurora, but remains exceedingly rare as a given name. Its melodic three-syllable structure (AW-ree-ohl) creates a rhythmic, graceful sound. Parents drawn to this name might appreciate its luminous meaning, artistic connections, and the subtle reference to gold. Despite its appealing qualities, Aureole has never entered mainstream usage in any country.
