MiaLen's list "Alternatives to Aurora" of 3 great name ideas: Soleia - Sunna!

Alternatives to Aurora

Here are some great alternatives to lovely Aurora, if you want something similar. I hope this helps!

A modern name based on the Latin for "sun" (sol) and the French Soleil, Soleia could even be considered a mix of Sol and Leia, giving it the meaning "sun wearied". Bright and pretty in sound, it fits right in with options like Solana, Marisol, Raya, Sunny, and Reina.
 
Appearing in the US charts since the early 2000s, a recent year saw it gain more attention when it was chosen for 122 girls.

Soleia

Sunniva was an Irish-born saint who fled to Norway, where she hid in an island cave with her followers and eventually died.  After miracles were reported on the island, the cave was excavated and Sunniva's intact body was found.  Sunniva is the patron saint of Western Norway.  Her name would make a fascinating and unusual choice for a modern baby girl, and if her story is a bit grim, you can take refuge in the upbeat nickname Sunny or Sunni.

Sunniva

A familiar choice in Iceland, the sunny and simple Sunna may be viewed as a nickname for Sunneva or Súsanna, the Icelandic variants of Sunniva and Susannah. As such, it two nature-connected meanings: "sun gift" and "lily" respectively. 
 
Alternatively, it may be considered a mythological and literary creation, adapted from the Germanic and Norse Sunna, the name of a Germanic sun goddess. It notably appeared in The Legend of the Ice People by Margit Sandemo, a series of popular historical novels published from 1982 onwards that likely inspired parents to consider the name.
 
Predominantly used in Iceland, it has also seen usage in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and. Denmark.
 
Outside of Scandinavia however, it may be associated with Sunna(h), an Arabic name meaning "habits, customs", though is used more broadly to describe the traditions and practises provided by the prophet Muhammad for Muslims to follow. As such, it is also used across India and beyond.
