The story of Aurielle
The gens Aurelia was a Roman family whose name meant golden, and it gave Christianity several saints and Rome the emperor Marcus Aurelius. French produced Aurélie and Auriel, and American naming added the -elle ending that Danielle and Michelle made familiar. Aurielle appears in American records from the 1970s and is a modern assembly of a genuinely Roman root.
Meaning
golden
From Latin aureus, golden, built on aurum; the Roman family name Aurelius comes from the same root, and Aurelia is its feminine. The -elle ending is a French diminutive added in modern use.
