What Does the Name Aubrie Mean?
Aubrie is a modern spelling variant of Aubrey, a name of Germanic origin meaning "elf ruler" or "ruler of elves." It goes back to the Germanic name Alberic (German Alberich), formed from the elements alb "elf" and rīk "ruler, power." The name passed into English through Norman French as Aubri or Aubry. Aubrie is not a separate name with its own etymology; it is a respelled feminine form of Aubrey. The literal meaning is "elf ruler." The gloss "noble and bright" is sometimes given for Aubrey, but that meaning belongs to the separate name Albert (from Adalbert: adal "noble" + berht "bright"), not to Alberic.
Aubrie Name History & Origins
The name reached England through the Norman Conquest as Aubri or Aubry, from the Old French form of a Germanic name. It appears in medieval English records as both a given name and a surname. Alberic was the name of a 12th-century Cistercian abbot, Saint Alberic of Cîteaux, one of the founders of the Cistercian order, and the name was also borne by other medieval churchmen and nobles. In German heroic legend, the related Alberich is a dwarf or elf king in the Nibelungenlied; that literary figure is separate from the historical use of the name in England.
After the Middle Ages, Aubrey became uncommon in England. It was revived in the 19th century, when it was still mainly a masculine name; the English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley is a well-known example. In the 20th century, Aubrey also came into use as a feminine name in English-speaking countries. Aubrie is a chiefly feminine respelling that follows the pattern of familiar names ending in -ie, such as Sophie or Rosie. It shares the etymology and history of Aubrey rather than having a separate origin.
