Amaurion is an uncommon, gender-neutral given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'aureus', which means 'golden'. The name is thought to have been created by adding the prefix 'ama-' and suffix '-ion' to 'aureus'. Amaurion first appeared in the late 19th century, but it remains relatively obscure, with only a small number of individuals bearing this name recorded in most countries. It has not entered popular culture significantly and is therefore largely unfamiliar outside of those who have been named Amaurion or have personal connections to someone with this name.
The name Amaurion appears to have had its peak popularity between 2002 and 2004 with ten births each year during that period. After a dip in 2008 and 2010, there was another increase in births with seven in 2011 and six in 2013. Overall, Amaurion has been chosen for 51 newborns between 2002 and 2013.
