Is Aurore a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Aurore has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 55 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Aurore: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Aurore, and how old are they?
An estimated 52 Americans named Aurore and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026, too few to state an age range. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 409 people named Aurore (402 women and girls, 7 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 66 born in the U.S. The Census count is 6.2 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Where are babies named Aurore born?
The states with the most babies named Aurore are Massachusetts, Maine and Rhode Island, with 96% of its births recorded by state since 1910; Massachusetts and Maine and Rhode Island are not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Aurore is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Aurore is most over-represented in Massachusetts: since 1910 it was given 7.4 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Aurore with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 6 names spelled alike, given to 101,044 babies since 1880, Aurore is the second most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 7,119 babies recorded by SSA was a Aurore (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
