Meaning & origin
Averie entered the U.S. naming charts in 1985 and saw its peak popularity in 2014, when it ranked 701st. Since then, its usage has been falling, with the most recent data from 2025 showing it still in decline. The spelling Averie, with an -ie ending, distinguishes it from the more common Avery and adds a distinctly feminine touch. The name is especially popular in Nebraska, Mississippi, and Louisiana, reflecting a regional preference for this trendy variant. Averie fits into the modern pattern of names ending in -ie or -y for girls, offering a softer alternative to Avery.
Averie is a modern feminine variant of Avery, which originated as a Norman French surname brought to England after the Conquest. The surname derives from the medieval given name Auberée, a shortened form of Germanic Alberich, composed of alf 'elf' and ric 'power'. As a given name, Avery emerged for boys in the 19th century, and the feminine spelling Averie became popular in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States.
