Auréa and Aiven...Auréa (or-RAY-uh) is a shortening/nn/derived from Aurelia. And Aiven is from an Irish Gaelic name, but the spelling is anglicized. I can't remember the original spelling though. Sorry. LOL. I can't decide between Aiven, Aven and Ayven. I first saw it as Aven on another board. These parents wanted to name their son Aaron, but didn't know how to spell it. They spelled it Aren, but the 'r' looked like a 'v' so it ended up being Aven. They liked it so they kept it. The man is now in his seventies or eighties or something like that. I heard the story from a friend of the granddaughter. I LOVE this name. *reyanna*

Thanks!The name it's Anglicized from is maybe Éimhín (AY-veen)? It could come from Aoibheann as well, I suppose. Either way, I really like it :-)
