Arora
Meaning of Arora
Arora, phonetically rendered as /əˈroʊrə/ in American English and /əˈrɔːrə/ in British English, derives primarily as a morphological variant of the Latin Aurora, literally denoting “dawn,” and accordingly conveys associations of renewal and light. While this etymological connection situates it within the classical Roman mythological corpus, Arora also functions independently as a Punjabi surname historically tied to a mercantile community, thereby reflecting a distinct cross-cultural lineage. In its capacity as a feminine given name in the United States, Arora first registered in the Social Security Administration’s data in 1995 and has since maintained a modest but consistent annual presence, recording between five and twenty-two occurrences per year and occupying ranks in the 854–980 range, with a peak frequency of twenty-one instances in 2022. This analytical synthesis of classical etymology and cross-cultural identity underscores Arora’s appeal for parents seeking a name that is simultaneously distinctive, historically grounded, and resonant with nuanced cultural significance.
