Meaning & origin
Averi is a modern feminine spelling of Avery, a name that has seen considerable evolution from its Old French roots. In the United States, the name first appeared on the baby name charts in 1969, but its peak popularity came in 2015, when it ranked among the top 1,000. Since then, its usage has been falling, particularly since 2020, reflecting a broader shift away from names with the '-er' sound. As of 2025, Averi ranks 1,200th, with about 1 in 8,459 girls given the name. The name is most common in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ohio, suggesting a regional preference in the South and Midwest. Averi remains a stylish choice for parents seeking a name that is both familiar and distinctive, with a spelling that sets it apart from the more common Avery.
Averi is a modern feminine spelling variant of the surname Avery, which originated from the Old French masculine name Aubrey (from Germanic Alberic, meaning 'elf ruler'). In the United States, Avery has been used as a given name for both sexes since the 19th century, though its modern popularity for girls surged in the late 20th century. The spelling Averi emerged as a feminized form, following the trend of names ending in 'i' for girls (e.g., Kari, Tori).
