History & Origin

Avarie respells Avery, the English surname that grew from medieval French pronunciations of Alfred — Old English ælf, 'elf', plus ræd, 'counsel', the wisdom of the hidden folk. Avery's twenty-first-century run for girls created appetite for distinctly feminine spellings, and Avarie answers with a French-tinged -ie.

The spelling appears modestly in 2000s-2010s U.S. records and remains rare. It shares Avery's strengths — crisp, professional, nicknameable to Avie — while staking out its own look on paper.

Did you know? Avery descends from Alfred — Old English ælf-ræd, 'elf counsel' — filtered through Norman French pronunciation until the king's name became a surname, then a first name again.
