History & Origin
Aubrea is an elaborated feminine form of Aubrey, which traces through Norman French to the Germanic Alberic, 'elf ruler.' As Aubrey shifted toward girls in American use, softened spellings like Aubrea appeared. This version shows up in United States records from around 1977, reaching a modest high around 2009. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.
A girl named Aubrea from the late 1970s would be in her forties now, while those from the later high are younger. With Aubrey and Aubree hugely popular in recent decades, this -ea spelling fits the same taste, though it stays a distinctive, uncommon variation rather than a mainstream form.
