The genus name is derived from the Latin name Aurelia, which in turn is derived from aureus, meaning "golden". The specific epithet derives from the Latin rarus, meaning "rare" or "uncommon", due to A. rara being more elusive in comparison to the other two Aurelia species in the type locality, A. montyi and A. marginalis.[2]
