MEANING & HISTORY
What does Auring mean?
Auring is a Philippine affectionate form of Aurora, with the diminutive ending ing. Aurora is the Latin dawn word and the name of the Roman dawn goddess.
The shortened name inherits that parent connection without adding another lexical root. Auring is the documented exact familiar form, not an automatic substitute for every name beginning Aur.
