Aurélie (or its variants Aurelie or Aurelia) is a feminine name primarily occurring in France, deriving from the Latin Aurelius (golden) family. The masculine forms are Aurèle and Aurélien.[1] The name was historically popular in France, and is currently seeing a resurgence across Europe.[2]

The name is sometimes also given outside of France, especially in Mediterranean countries and the Netherlands. In some cases, the accent aigu on the first e is dropped (Aurelie), and occasionally the final e is replaced with an a (Aurelia), especially in Italy and Romania. Common nicknames include Rory, Arie, and Aurie.
