ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

"Golden" or "gilded," via the Latin root aureus, inherited from the Roman family name Aurelius, of which Aurelio is the Italian and Spanish form.

Aurelius (Latin).
Mythological and religious contextThe Roman root name Aurelius was borne by the 2nd-century Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius, whose historical prominence shapes the classical, dignified association carried by the whole Aurelius/Aurelio name family, though this association belongs to the root name rather than to any documented independent history for the Italian/Spanish form Aurelio itself.
