About Aurelijus
Aurelijus, a Lithuanian name, stems from the Latin name Aurelius. The name Aurelius originates from the Proto-Italic word "auso- / auzom", which means "gold, golden, gilded, gold-colored, beautiful, precious, excellent, magnificent".
The name Aurelius was borne by an ancient noble Roman family, the "Gens Aurelia". The family's name is often connected to the Latin adjective "Aurĕus", meaning "golden". This connection suggests that the name may have referred to a person's hair color.
