  1. Arely
    • Origin:

      Spanish feminization of Areli, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "the voice of God"
    • Description:

      Likely a feminised form of Areli (one of Gad’s sons according to Genesis), Arely is a Spanish girls’ name with Hebrew roots meaning "the voice of God." Most common among Spanish-speakers (and a fairly popular name in Spain), Arely might be a great choice for parents looking for a name with Biblical roots that still sounds trendy and feminine and wears well across cultures.

      French variation of Ariel
    • Meaning:

      "lion of God"

  3. Auria
    • Origin:

      American variation of Aurelia or Aria
    • Description:

      Auria is a highly unusual choice with a pleasant aura. As cousin names Aurelia and Aurora become more prominent, as we predict they will in coming years, Auria will get some attention too.

    • Meaning:

      "gold"
    • Description:
