Aruna

Meaning of Aruna

Aruna (ah-ROO-nuh) is a lively female name from Sanskrit, meaning “dawn” or “reddish glow.” In Hindu tales, Aruna is the spirited charioteer who guides the sun, painting morning skies with pink and gold. It’s a little fiesta of light at sunrise, chasing away the darkest shadows with joy. Soft yet bold, it rolls off the tongue like sunshine itself. In the U.S., it’s quietly climbing the baby-name charts as families seek names with corazón and a story. For the little girl who lights up a room, Aruna brings warmth, promise, and the thrill of a fresh beginning.
