History & Origin
Avary is an -ary spelling of Avery — from a medieval English surname rooted in the Germanic Alberich/Alfred, 'elf counsel; ruler of the elves' (alf, 'elf', plus ric, 'ruler', or raed, 'counsel'; routes layered, which we note). A soft, crisp, modern surname-name, used for both sexes, here for girls; the -ary styling personalizes it.
