Aubrey (Шаблон:IPAc-en) is a traditionally male English given name. It was quite common in the Middle Ages, but had lost favour for a time before experiencing a resurgence of popularity in the 19th century.[1][2]

Starting in the United States in the late 20th century, Aubrey began to be commonly used as a given name for girls, potentially transferred from its usage as a surname and/or influenced by Audrey.[1] In 2022, Aubrey was the 81st most popular girls' name in the United States.[3]

Etymology

Шаблон:Wiktionary Aubrey is from the Norman French derivation Aubry of the Germanic given name Alberic / Old High German given name Alberich,[4] which consists of the elements alb 'elf' and ric 'power' or 'ruler' ,[1][5] Before being largely replaced by Aubrey after the Norman Conquest of England, the Anglo-Saxons used the native form Ælfrīc.[1]

The mediaeval feminine name Aubrée, independently derived from the Germanic name Alberada, was common in Normandy and Post-Conquest England.[6][7] However, it had fallen out of use entirely by the 15th century and appears to be unconnected with modern usage of Aubrey.[2]
