The Story of Aubri
Aubri is a variant spelling of Aubrey, which derives from the Old Germanic Alberic, composed of alb (elf) and ric (ruler, power). Alberic was the name of a powerful elf-king in Germanic mythology. The name came to England via the Normans after 1066 and was traditionally a male name before transitioning to primarily female use in the 20th century.
Aubrey surged for girls in the United States from the 2000s onward, consistently ranking in the top 100. The spelling variants Aubree and Aubri emerged as parents sought the same sounds with a slightly different visual identity.
The name gained contemporary cultural presence through rapper Drake's song Aubrey (which is his given name), as well as actress Aubrey Plaza. Its medieval roots give it an enchanting connection to fairy mythology.
