Meaning & origin

Audry, a variant spelling of Audrey, peaked in popularity in 1928, the year it reached its highest recorded usage. Since 2008, its trajectory has been steadily falling. Despite never ranking in the Top 1000 nationally, Audry has been in sporadic use since 1893, reflecting the broader preference for the more common Audrey form.

Audry is a variant spelling of Audrey, which derives from the Old English name Æþelþryð, composed of the elements æþel meaning 'noble' and þryð meaning 'strength'. The name was borne by a 7th-century English saint, Etheldreda, also known as Audrey. As a modern given name, Audry has seen sporadic use since the late 19th century, often as a simplified or respelled form.
