Aurum is a distinctive and rare name for boys, derived from the Latin word for "gold." Pronounced as AW-rum (/ˈɔːrəm/), it carries connotations of wealth, value, and brilliance. The name Aurum is not widely used, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking something unique yet meaningful. It has a classical charm that hints at both history and elegance. A notable variation of this name is Aurelio, which shares the same golden roots but offers a slightly different melodic quality. Despite its rarity in the United States—ranking 9714th in 2023 with only seven occurrences—it remains a timeless option that stands out for its rich cultural heritage and sophisticated allure.
