History & Origin

Audy is a variant of Audie, a homey diminutive linked to the Old English element aud/ead ('wealth, fortune') and to names such as Audrey. It reads as a warm, rural American given name.

It stayed a rarity, given to only about fifteen boys a year around mid-century. An Audy from that time would be a grandfather today, of the generation that grew up in Audie Murphy's heyday.

Did you know? The near-twin Audie is famous through Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier of World War II - a hero whose name gave the whole cluster a rugged, patriotic ring.
