History & Origin

Oralia is the Spanish descendant of the Latin Aurelia, from aurum, 'gold' — so 'golden'. Aurelius was an old Roman family name, worn most famously by the emperor Marcus Aurelius, and Aurelia its feminine. Carried into Spanish, it softened into Oralia and Aurelia alike, and it has long been well used in Mexico and the American Southwest. Warm, four-beat, and golden at root (said 'oh-RAH-lee-uh').

In the U.S. it appears occasionally, mostly in Spanish-speaking families. Uncommon, classical, and golden.

Did you know? Behind Oralia is aurum, the Latin word for gold — the same root that gives us the chemical symbol Au.
