Meaning & origin

Aubrie is a modern spelling variant of Aubrey that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security Administration's records in 1973. It reached its peak popularity in 2012, ranking among the top 1000 names for girls in that era. Since 2012, its usage has been steadily falling, and by 2025 it ranked 1352 with roughly 1 in 9861 newborn girls receiving the name. The variant is most popular in Louisiana, Alabama, and Virginia, reflecting a Southern preference for this spelling. While the original masculine name Aubrey has deep medieval roots in England, the feminine spelling Aubrie is a distinctly American 20th century innovation, part of the broader trend of creating distinctive -ie and -ee endings for girls' names.

Aubrie is a modern spelling variant of Aubrey, which derives from the Old Germanic name Alberich, composed of alf (elf) and ric (power). The name was introduced to England by the Normans in the forms Alberic and Auberi, and it became established as a masculine name during the Middle Ages. By the 20th century, Aubrey and its spelling variants shifted predominantly to female use, particularly in the United States.
