Hi,
I feel your question is incomplete, because now-a-days, a single word can have many meanings in many disciplines, even the same is the case with AURA....check out these below……
Aura may refer to:
IN SCIENCE
•Aura (symptom), a symptom experienced before a migraine or seizure.
•Aura (optics), an optical phenomenon.
•Aura (satellite), a satellite in the NASA Earth Observing System series, launched July 15, 2004.
•Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.
IN GEOGRAPHY
•Aura, Finland, a municipality in Finland.
•Aura River, a river in Finland.
•Aura (woreda), a woreda or district in Ethiopia.
IN MUSIC
•Aura (album), an album by the Finnish rock group CMX.
•Aura (Asia album), is an album by the progressive rock band Asia, first released in 2000.
•Aura (Miles Davis album), an album by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis (1989).
IN LINGUISTICS
•Aura, the old name for the personification of Finland.
•A plough in the Finnish language.
IN BUSINESS
•The Saturn Aura, a concept car that débuted in 2005.
•The Electronics sub-division of Bowers & Wilkins, discontinued in 1997.
IN ENTERTAINMENT

Others
•Aura (paranormal), a paranormal effect.

•Aura (.hack), the name of an important character in the .hack//sign and .hack//Legend of The Twilight franchise.
Also……In the distant past, people admired things they could not explain and called them “miracles”. Long ago, people were able to see Auras. Advanced spiritual people such as Buddha, Christ and their immediate students were painted with golden haloes around their heads, because some artists could actually see Auras. Given below is an extract from the one of the sites I mentioned at the bottom…According to this aspect, AURA is as defined below:
WHAT IS THE AURA ?
Everything in the Universe seems to be just a vibration. Every atom, every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary “particle”, even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations. Hence, we may define the Aura as a electro-photonic vibration response of an object to some external excitation (such as an ambient light for example). This definition is sufficient for the purpose of reading Auras, providing that we can train ourselves to see the Aura vibration.
IN ASTRONOMICAL TERMS:
Aura is part of the Earth Observing System (EOS), a program dedicated to monitoring the complex interactions that affect the globe using NASA satellites and data systems.

Figurative meaning
Figuratively, an aura refers to the character of concepts, issues or phenomena surrounding a particular topic; for example, "The discussion had an aura of casualness."
The Marxist cultural critic Walter Benjamin also used the term "aura" to refer to the feeling of awe created by unique or remarkable objects such as works of art or relics of the past. According to Benjamin older cultures can generate auras around particular objects of veneration, while capitalist culture has the opposite effect, causing the decay of the aura due to the proliferation of mass-production and reproduction technologies.

What is the Aura ?
Everything in the Universe seems to be just a vibration. Every atom, every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary “particle”, even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations. Hence, we may define the Aura as a electro-photonic vibration response of an object to some external excitation (such as an ambient light for example). This definition is sufficient for the purpose of reading Auras, providing that we can train ourselves to see the Aura vibration.
The most important property of the Aura seems to be the fact that it contains INFORMATION about the object.
Aura around living (conscious) objects (people, plants ...) changes with time, sometimes very quickly. Aura around non-living object (stones, crystals, water...) is essentially fixed. Above facts have been observed by scientists in Russia, who have been using Kirlian effect to study Auras for the last 50 years.
The Aura around humans is partly composed from EM (electromagnetic) radiation, spanning from microwave, infrared (IR) to UV light. The low frequency microwave and infrared part of the spectrum (body heat) seems to be related to the low levels of the functioning of our body (DNA structure, metabolism, circulation etc.) whereas high frequency (UV part) is more related to our conscious activity such as thinking, creativity, intentions, sense of humor and emotions. Russian scientists, who seem to be about 3 decades ahead of everyone else in Aura research, make experiments suggesting that our DNA can be altered, by influencing its microwave Aura. The high frequency UV part is very important and most interesting but largely unexplored. And this part can be seen with naked eyes.

An energy that surrounds you.
Have you noticed when some one invades your personal space you tend to back up a little? Your aura is just as real as that personal space.

if you are asking it as meditation terminology, it means:
A band of etheric substance surrounding our physical body that reflects our seven levels of self. It consists of seven layers of middle-physical plane substance vibrating a little more quickly than the physical body itself.
