Meaning & origin
Aubree is a modern feminine spelling of the classic name Aubrey, which has Germanic origins meaning 'elf ruler.' The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1972, but saw its peak in 2013 when it ranked highest in usage. Since then, its popularity has been falling, with the latest rank in 2025 at 489th, with a 1-in-2,652 ratio. The name is particularly favored in southern states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The variant spelling with double 'e' gave it a fresh, distinctly feminine appeal during the 2010s, and it remains a familiar alternative to the more common Aubrey.
Aubree is a variant spelling of Aubrey, derived from the Germanic name Alberich, composed of alf 'elf' and ric 'power, ruler', thus meaning 'elf ruler'. The name was introduced to England by the Normans in the forms Alberic and Aubri, and later became associated with the French name Aubry. While traditionally masculine in medieval times, Aubrey and its variant Aubree are now predominantly used for girls in the United States.
