Fresh new names with a lovely tribal twist to them.

Aura
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "soft breeze"
- Description:
  Aura has an otherworldly, slightly New Age-y glow, but is beginning to sound more more like a legitimate name. In Greek and Roman mythology, Aura was the Titan of the breeze and the fresh, cool air of early morning. But at odds with her peaceful, well, aura, the mythological Aura is a tragic figure, ultimately transformed into a fountain by Zeus.
