Aubry
Aubry Origin and Meaning
Aubry is a variant spelling of Aubrey, a name with Germanic origins meaning 'elf ruler' or 'magical being.' Historically, it was a masculine name derived from the Germanic elements 'alb' (elf) and 'ric' (power, ruler). In modern usage, particularly in the United States, Aubrey has become predominantly feminine, with Aubry following this trend despite being listed here as masculine. This spelling variation offers a slightly different visual appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. Aubry has a sophisticated sound with historical depth, yet feels contemporary. While less common than the standard Aubrey spelling, it provides a subtle distinction for those seeking something slightly different. The name's connection to magical beings gives it a whimsical quality, while its historical use as a noble name lends it strength and dignity.
