Aurélien

A glowing and sophisticated choice, Aurélien is the French form of the Roman Aurelius, ultimately from aureus meaning "gold, gilded". This form ranked in the French Top 30 back in the 80s and remained popular throughout the 90s, however, more recent counts have seen it drop back to just within the Top 500, with alternative Aurèle slightly preferred.

A notable bearer is footballer Aurélien Tchouaméni
