Primarily a girl's name · 100% girls
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Aurora yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
151% growth over the past decade put Aurora at a fresh peak in both count and rank for 2024 — 6,917 births, #16 nationally — second only to Maverick's gain rate in this batch.
Unlike nearly every other name covered across all three batches so far, the enrichment data has nothing to say about Aurora: no linguistic origin, no famous bearers at all. Its cultural pull, whatever it is, isn't showing up in the reference data the way Violet's or Hazel's does.
That blank slate makes it hard to attribute the rise to any specific influence. What the birth data does confirm is the shape of the climb: present since 1880 but essentially flat for more than a hundred years before this recent, sharp acceleration.
