A Roman family name, most famously belonging to Marcus Aurelius, a stoic philosopher and emperor.
From Latin 'aureus' meaning golden; the Roman family name suggests 'golden' or noble origins; Marcus Aurelius lived 121-180 CE and wrote the philosophical work 'Meditations.'
Marcus Aurelius became emperor of Rome at the height of its power, but spent his reign scribbling philosophy in a notebook about how nothing matters and we should accept what we can't control—his journal became 'Meditations,' which people still read 2,000 years later.
