↑ Left untranslated, the name "Aurora de Chile" could be rendered "Dawn of Chile." (Strictly speaking, "aurora" is a poetic term for "dawn," and technically refers to the glow of light just before the sunrise—as pictured at the top of each Aurora de Chile issue.)
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 Though the Latin grammar is unusual, this motto should probably be translated as "May light bless the people, driving away sleep and shadows!" It is unclear if this is a quotation from a Latin work.
