The name “Aurora” is not directly translated in Hebrew language.
However, I can tell you about some connections between the meaning of “Aurora” in Latin and other cultures around the world.
In Latin, Aurora was the Goddess of Dawn, equivalent to Eos in Greek mythology, whose son was Asclepius – god of healing; thus, association could potentially associate the name with healing/medical fields. Aurora Borealis, commonly referred to as the Northern Lights is named after her due to its association with dawn.
Other cultures and languages have different associations with “Aurora”:
– Chinese: Fēnghuáng: literally Phoenix (feng) bird (huang). According to legends, only one feather fell when the phoenix appeared whereas two fell when it disappeared, implying that the former sighting was dawn and latter dusk. Thus, aurora might convey connotations of new beginnings in China.
– Italian: “Aurora consurgens” roughly translating to “Dawn arising” used by St. Augustine as metaphor for Christ’s redemption of humanity from original sin.
It may seem daunting without an obvious Hebrew connection but exploring multicultural backgrounds helps provide greater depth and understanding to the nuances behind namesakes.
