Born on June 1, 1808, Aurora Karamzin was a Finnish philanthropist who founded numerous charitable organizations and significantly influenced social welfare in Finland. The name of the Roman goddess of the dawn (and Sleeping Beauty’s princess), Aurora is one of the surprise shooting stars of this generation’s baby names. Aurora ranks Number 16 on the 2024 US popularity list, given to nearly 7000 baby girls, and also is in the Top 100 in a wide range of other countries, from New Zealand to Italy to Brazil to Finland. We see it as a future Top 10 girls’ name.
