Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Aubrie

Aubrie is a modern Americanized spelling variant of Aubrey, which came to England by way of the Norman French. The name is ultimately derived from the German name “Alberic” from the Germanic elements “alb” (‘elf, supernatural being’) and “rīc” (‘power’). Not coincidentally, Alberic was the name of the fair-haired, king of the elves in German mythology. After the Norman Conquest of England, the name Aubrey was common in the latter part of the Middle Ages but eventually diminished in usage. It has traditionally been used as a boys’ name in the English-speaking world until the 1970’s when Americans started using it for girls. Once it became cemented as a female name, Aubrey took on some new spelling formations such as Aubrie and Aubree.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME AUBRIE

Today, the traditional spelling of Aubrey is a name on the Top 50 list of most commonly used girl names (over 70% of the parents today are using the Audrey spelling). Aubree is the second most popular spelling of this name followed by Aubrie (a spelling given to less than 10% of the baby Aubreys being born today). Although Aubrey is the conventional spelling, Aubree and Aubrie are certainly phonetically correct renditions of this fairly common name. Like Audrey, Aubrie is a pretty, girlish name. If anything, the “-ie” suffix serves to give this name a more informal or casual edge. Aubrie first entered the American female naming charts in the 21st century while Aubrey has been around since the 1970s, and even before that on the male charts (Aubrey has a history of being unisex). The old Germanic roots of this name make it a pretty interesting choice. It’s also interesting that Aubrie is a master number eleven in numerology – a very spiritual number for you little elf-like baby and her supernatural powers.
