Aurora is the Latin word for “dawn” and the name of the Roman goddess of the morning, who corresponds to the Greek Eos.
The word also names the polar lights, the aurora borealis. As a given name it appears in Europe from the Middle Ages, and Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Sleeping Beauty calls its princess Aurora.
The name Aurora in numerology
Dawn is a fitting image: a quiet time when things start to show.
A1, U3, R9, O6, R9, A1: the six values reach 29, and 2 plus 9 gives 11, a figure the engine leaves whole. An Aurora often picks up atmospheres before anyone names them, has flashes of insight she cannot always explain and aims higher than is comfortable. Rest between bursts is part of the method.
The vowels A, U, O and A also reach 11, doubling the theme: inside, she carries a sensitive idealism that wants beauty and meaning in her days. The two R’s total 18 and then 9, so her way of acting is generous and wide-eyed, ready to give time to causes that go beyond her circle.
An A worth 1 opens the name and her vowels, which gives a direct, upright first impression and a prompt, decisive reaction to the unexpected.
Two 11’s with a 9 and a 1 around them: inspiration made practical by generosity and a firm start. The sketch is of a single name, and further numbers wait in her complete record.
