What does the name Aubry mean?
Aubry is a spelling of Aubrey, pronounced the same way, so it shares Aubrey's meaning and origin.
Aubrey is the Norman French form of the Germanic name Alberich. Wiktionary derives Alberich from Proto-Germanic elements meaning 'elf' and 'ruler, king', and Wiktionary lists German Alberich and Italian Alberico as related forms. The Normans brought the name to England, where it was used for both men and women in the Middle Ages, as Wikipedia notes, before surviving mainly as a surname. Wikipedia connects its rise as a girl's name in the US to the 1973 song 'Aubrey' by the band Bread, and perhaps to its likeness to Audrey.
