Looking for boy names that mean dawn or awakening. I know of [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] but looking for others. Looking to honour a [name_f]Dawn[/name_f].
I find this list of names meaning dawn, but there arent many boy names in it…

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Zoran[/name_m]? It’s a South Slavic male name meaning dawn.
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]-, morning- or sun-related names…
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] — [name_m]Roman[/name_m] sun god
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] — “born in the morning”
[name_m]Aurelian[/name_m]/[name_m]Aurelio[/name_m]/[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] — means “golden” and similar to [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], which means “dawn”
[name_m]Dag[/name_m]/[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] — “daylight”
[name_u]Ori[/name_u] — “dawn”
[name_m]Ravi[/name_m] — Hindu sun god
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] — “sun”
Maybe [name_u]Zerah[/name_u]? It’s Hebrew and means “to arise” or “dawn”. [name_m]Elio[/name_m] is a more accessible version of [name_m]Helios[/name_m], the name of the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucien[/name_m] means “light”.
