Name of the Day: AURELIUS

Today's name of the day is AURELIUS (boy's name; Latin origin; meaning "the golden one.")

AURELIUS is such a masculine, powerfully classic Roman name. In ancient Rome, The Aurellii were gens -- a group of families that shared a common name and a common ancestor. Males that were part of The Aurellii took the name AURELIUS and females were named Aurelia. But today, there's no need for your son to be an emperor in order to be given such a strong name. AURELIUS is easily handsome, exquisite, and accessible.
