Origin: Latin

Meaning: Dawn

Zorica, meaning "dawn," is a feminine name of Latin origin and shares a meaning with its Latin variant, Aurora. Aurora may have its borealis and australis, but neither can claim to be a princess from Serbia. In the early 14th century, King Stefan Milutin and Queen Elizabeth of Hungary said hello to a beautiful baby girl. They planned to have her marry the son of Charles, Count of Valois until King Stefan angered Charles with his military escapades. There is no word on how Princess Zorica felt about this failed arranged marriage, but "relieved" and "happy" have been rumored. When you fix your eyes on baby Zorica for the first time, it will quickly dawn on you that you're staring at your own little princess.
