Avrely

Avrely () is an old and rare Russian male first name. Its feminine version is Avreliya. The name is derived from Latin Aurelius (a Roman gens), itself derived from either the Latin word (gold), or the combination of the Latin words or (golden) and the Greek word , meaning sun.

The name was included into various, often handwritten, church calendars throughout the 17th–19th centuries, but was omitted from the official Synodal Menologium at the end of the 19th century. In 1924–1930, the name was included into various Soviet calendars, which included the new and often artificially created names, although in this case the name was simply re-introduced.

Its diminutives include Avrelya (), Relya (), and Ava ().

The patronymics derived from "Avrely" are "" (Avreliyevich), "" (Avrelyevich; both masculine); and "" (Avreliyevna), "" (Avrelyevna; both feminine).
