I think the meaning is lovely but I’d probably shy away from a Spanish noun if I lived in a country where Spanish is spoken by many people, if it wasn’t a name already (I wouldn’t use a Turkish word here, for example).
I’m also not the biggest fan of the name/word with an English pronunciation, so without rolled Rs, it, like many Spanish names/words, looses a bit of it’s beauty that way.
I was planning to roll the r, but I’m sure most people wouldn’t. Fair point.
I think you might run into pronunciation issues, but I like it. Without knowing the Spanish meaning, when I first saw it I thought of “sunrise”.
