The Story of Audri
Audri is a variant spelling of Audrey, which derives from the Old English name Aethelthryth, a compound of aethel meaning noble and thyth meaning strength. The name was borne by Saint Audrey (Saint Etheldreda), a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon queen who founded the monastery of Ely. The modern shortened form Audrey became popular in the medieval period, and the variant spelling Audri gives it a contemporary feel.
Audrey experienced a massive revival in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, partly due to the enduring legacy of Audrey Hepburn, whose iconic style and grace kept the name glamorous for generations. The spelling Audri offers a modern update to the classic.
Saint Etheldreda (Saint Audrey) was so venerated that her feast day became a popular fair in Ely, England — the cheap lace necklaces sold there became known as tawdry lace (tawdry being a corruption of Saint Audrey). The name thus has an unexpected connection to the English language.
