The Aura (German pronunciation: [ˈaʊʁa] ⓘ) is a 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi) tributary of the Sinn River in Bavaria, Germany.
The name Aura originates from the Old High German Uraha. The word ur meant Aurochs, and the word aha meant stream,[2] meaning it was a river where Aurochs lived. The river gives the Gemeinde Aura im Sinngrund its name.
