Aune is a Finnish and Estonian feminine given name.

In some traditions it has also been treated as a regional pet form or elaboration of Anna/Anu, thus overlapping with the meaning “grace.”

Recorded in Finland since the late 19th century and popular through the 1910s–40s, Aune belongs to the classic Nordic vintage set now seeing quiet revival. Variant and related forms include Auni (f.), Auno (m., Finnish), and the broader Anna/Anne/Anu family; in Estonian, Aune and Auni are both used. Short, soft, and vowel-rich, Aune travels easily while retaining a distinctly Fenno-Baltic character. Not to be confused with the Norwegian surname Aune, which has a separate origin from farm names.
