History & Origin

Avrey is a spelling variant of Avery, an English surname-name from Old English roots meaning 'elf counsel' or 'ruler of the elves', related to Alfred. As Avery surged as a girls' name in the two-thousands, streamlined spellings like Avrey appeared alongside it.

This form stayed rare, trailing the popular Avery; only a few dozen girls a year took it around its mid-two-thousands peak. It belongs to the surname-name wave that made Avery a favorite.

Did you know? Avery began as a medieval English form tied to the Old English elements for 'elf' and 'counsel' - so Avrey quietly carries an air of otherworldly wisdom.
