History & Origin

Aubrie is a feminine spelling of Aubrey, which derives from the Old French form of the Germanic name Alberic, from alb (elf) and ric (ruler). The name was brought to England by the Normans after 1066. The same root also gives us Oberon, the fairy king.

Aubrey crossed from a boys' name to a popular girls' name in the U.S. from the 1970s onward, particularly after the hit song Aubrey by Bread (1972). Aubrie is one of several feminine spellings. It ranked #1001 for girls in 2024.

Did you know? Aubrey is a Norman French import into English — the same Germanic root gave rise to Oberon, the fairy king of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, whose name evolved from Alberic through Auberon.
