History & Origin

Audie traces back through English to the same root that gives us Audrey, meaning 'holy' or 'saintly.' That root reaches all the way to the Old English Æthelthryth, the name of an early saint.

War hero and actor Audie Murphy (1925-1971) is the name's most recognized bearer. Though it shares its origin with the feminine Audrey, Audie became established on its own as a boy's name.
