Aurigena Name meanings & History

Combination of Latin words aurum (meaning gold) and genu (meaning knee). The name Aurigena means "golden knee," and it is believed to be a reference to the mythical Greek figure, Medea, who had golden knees. Means "born of gold", derived from Latin aurum "gold" and -gena "born from, sprung from". This was originally a poetic epithet applied to the legendary hero Perseus (whose father, the god Jupiter, came upon his mother Danaë in the form of a shower of gold). Compare the Greek adjective χρυσόπατρος (chrysopatros) meaning "sprung of a golden father"; also compare Chrysogonos. Aurigena is a rare name that is not commonly used. It could be considered a good choice for parents looking for a unique baby name.
