    Auriana

    Pronounced aw-ree-AH-nah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Auriana does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Golden; Dawn; Radiant light", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Auriana.
    Meaning
    "Golden; Dawn; Radiant light"
    Origin
    Latin

    Auriana is the golden dawn — and the dayspring from on high visits us. 'Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness.' Auriana brings the light of a new morning.

    Spiritual meaning

    Auriana rises as the dayspring — tender mercy visiting, light given to darkness, the golden dawn who brings morning joy after night's weeping.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
