Meaning & origin
Aubrei reached its highest rank of 6325 in 2014, but has been declining in usage since 2015. In 2025, approximately 1 in 89,293 newborns received the name, reflecting its modest appeal. This modern spelling of Aubrey first appeared in U.S. records in 1985, emerging during a period of creative respellings for traditional names. The name has not seen widespread adoption in any particular state, though it fits a trend of soft, vowel-starting names for girls. Despite its decline, Aubrei remains a distinctive choice, carrying the ancient meaning of 'elf ruler' from its Germanic roots.
Aubrei is a modern variant of the name Aubrey, which itself originated from the Old Germanic name Alberic, composed of elements 'alb' (elf) and 'ric' (power, ruler). The name was introduced to England by the Normans and has been used as both a masculine and feminine name. The spelling Aubrei emerged in the late 20th century as a distinctive alternative to the more common Aubrey.
