Aurel

Latin origin

A shortened, more masculine-leaning form of Aurelius or derived directly from the Latin 'aureus' (golden), Aurel has a classical, European quality with understated elegance. Historically borne by Roman emperors and saints, the name carries dignified heritage while feeling contemporary through its brevity. It appeals to parents seeking something classic, international, and refined.
