Meaning & origin

Maudry is a rare feminine name that saw its highest usage in the 1930s, peaking in 1936. It has never ranked in the U.S. top 1,000, with only a few dozen births recorded annually during its peak decade. The name's trajectory has remained stable at very low levels since its first recorded appearance in 1920. Its origins are unclear, but it likely derives from Maud or Maury. Given its obscurity, Maudry carries a vintage, unusual appeal for parents seeking a distinctive name with a mild early-20th-century flavor.

Maudry is a rare feminine given name of uncertain etymology. It may be a diminutive or variant of Maud, itself a medieval English form of Matilda, or perhaps a feminine form of Maury, a surname derived from the given name Maurice. The name saw modest use in the early to mid-20th century, peaking in 1936, but has since become exceedingly uncommon.
