No evidence in the provided sources supports treating 'Aureily' as a folkloric or supernatural entity. The string appears in the sources either as part of Latin-derived numismatic terminology ('aureus' / 'aurei' — a Roman gold coin) or as a contemporary image-credit/creator name in commercial media; neither source presents origin, appearance, powers, or ritual material for an entity called 'Aureily'.
Aurnavabha (also attested as Aurṇavābha) is a name occurring in Vedic hymnic material (Rigveda) and later cited in bibliographic/theosophical indexes as a Vedic commentator. The sources present the name as textual/authorial rather than as an independently attested supernatural being.
Aurora is the princess protagonist of the Sleeping Beauty tale as popularized in Charles Perrault's literary tradition and later by the 1959 Disney film and stage/ballet adaptations.

Aurva (Sanskrit: और्व) is a Vedic/Purāṇic rishi of the Bhargava (Bhrigu) line remembered for a miraculous birth from his mother's thigh, a birth-radiance that blinded attackers, and for austere tapas that produced the submarine fire Vadavagni. He functions as a canonical sage, ancestor (father of Richika and grandfather of Vatsa), and a figure whose ascetic power threatened cosmic destruction until persuaded otherwise by the Pitrs.
Aurvandill is a figure attested in medieval Germanic onomastics and Norse narrative, most famously remembered in an Old Norse tale where Thor carries him across icy rivers and his frozen toe is cast into the sky as the star called Aurvandils-tá. Comparative linguistic study reconstructs a Common Germanic name associated with dawn or the morning star.
Auseklis is a named youthful celestial being in Latvian folk-song tradition (dainas), associated with the dawn and a particular eight-pointed star emblem. He appears among the Dieva dēli (sons of Dievs) as an attendant of the Sun (Saule), a suitor in the mythic 'celestial wedding', and a participant in household-like sky rituals.
A quartet of named dwarfs in Old Norse cosmology positioned at the four cardinal points who are described in medieval sources as holding up the sky after the gods made heaven from Ymir’s skull. They function as structural/cosmogonic supports and are attested in the Prose Edda and the Dvergatal of Völuspá, with echoes in skaldic kennings and in later scholarly interpretation linking their role to roof-beam terminology.
Autochthe (Ancient Greek: Αὐτόχθη) is a minor mythological princess of the Perseid line, named in classical genealogies as a daughter of Perseus and Andromeda. In some traditions she is said to have married Aegeus of Athens and borne daughters but no sons, and her chief narrative role is as a dynastic connector between ruling houses (Argos/Mycenae and Athens).
In ancient Greek myth and civic ideology, an autochthon is an 'earth-born' person or people—literally generated by the soil of a place—to claim the deepest form of indigenous origin and thereby political legitimacy. The term functions as a social-mythic category grounding territorial belonging and priority rather than as an independently acting supernatural creature.

Automate is a named figure in Ancient Greek mythic genealogy, one of the Danaids (daughters of Danaus). In mythographic summaries (following Apollodorus and later compilations) she is said to have killed the mythical Egyptian king Busiris, who had been betrothed to her. Her name in Ancient Greek is glossed as 'acting of one's own will, of oneself.'
An automaton is a crafted, self‑operating mechanical device or engineered construct described in ancient myth, technical history, and modern usage; in traditional accounts it is a human‑made figure or mechanism that imitates living actions through concealed mechanisms rather than by an animating spirit.
Automedon (Ancient Greek Αὐτομέδων) is a named mortal charioteer in the Homeric epic tradition, best known as the trusted driver of Achilles who manages the immortal horses Balius and Xanthos and acts as a combatant in episodes of the Iliad. He appears in scenes surrounding Patroclus' death and in later Roman reference (Virgil's Aeneid).
Automedusa is a mortal figure in Greek mythic genealogies, a Megarian princess, daughter of King Alcathous, wife of Iphicles, and mother of Iolaus. She functions chiefly as a genealogical link within networks connecting the houses of Pelops, Perseus, and the Theban/Heraclean circles.
Automeris io is a North American saturniid moth (Io moth) notable for its prominent hindwing eyespots and urticating caterpillars. It has a multi-stage lifecycle (egg → larva → pupa → adult), distinct sexual dimorphism in adults, and a geographic range across much of eastern and central North America.
Autonoe is a name attested in ancient Greek mythic traditions as (a) a Theban princess, one of the daughters of Cadmus and Harmonia, wife of Aristaeus and mother of Actaeon (and possibly Macris); and (b) separately, as one of the list-figures among the fifty Nereids (sea-nymph daughters of Nereus and Doris). Sources do not reconcile these attestations into a single, unified identity.
Autonous is a named mortal from a single surviving Greek metamorphosis narrative (recorded in Antoninus Liberalis' Metamorphoses as preserved in modern summaries). A pastoral household head whose neglect of husbandry leads to a tragedy in which his son Anthus is killed by the family's horses; the gods Zeus and Apollo pity the grieving family and transform Autonous into a bird identified as the stone‑curlew (Greek ὄκνος).
Auxesia (Αυξησία) is a figure in ancient Greek religious tradition associated with growth and increase of fields. She appears in local cults around the Saronic Gulf (Epidaurus, Aegina, Troezen) as an independent local goddess or as an epithet/aspect of better-known deities (notably Persephone), often paired with Damia.
Auxo is a name attested across modern commercial, taxonomic, and fictional contexts and, in classical reference frameworks, is historically associated with the Horae — the Greek goddesses of the seasons and natural portions of time. The provided sources do not supply a consistent folkloric persona, mythology, or rites tied to a supernatural being named Auxo.
Auðr (Old Norse 'prosperity') is a personified figure attested in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda as a child of the personified Night (Nótt) by Naglfari, and thus made an uncle of Thor within Snorri's genealogical schema. The figure otherwise appears only as a referent in skaldic diction and is sparsely attested, leading some scholars to regard the attestation as possibly a Snorrian creation.
Auðumbla is the primeval cow of Old Norse cosmogony attested in the Prose Edda: she nourishes the primordial jötunn Ymir with rivers of milk and by licking salty rime-stones reveals Búri, an ancestor of the gods. Her name and role link fertility, nourishment, and the emergence of key lineages in the Norse origin narrative.

Aventinus of Alba Longa is a legendary king in the Alban/Latial regnal tradition, presented in ancient commentators and later summaries as an eponymous figure whose burial or shrine on the Aventine Hill provided an etiological explanation for that place-name.

Averruncus (also Auruncus) is an ancient Roman divine name/agent associated with averting harm.
