Aubery
Primarily a boy's name of French origin with 503 recorded births. Also given to 103 girls.
Meaning & Origin
Aubery peaked during the Baby Boom, when 20 babies received this name in a single year (1953). That era was defined by classic, post-war American naming, and Aubery has since stepped out of the spotlight, giving it a vintage quality that many parents now find appealing.
Aubery is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Aubery is a girl's and boy's baby name of French origin, a variant spelling of Aubrey, from the Old French "Alberic," meaning "elf ruler" or "fair king." The name was introduced to England by the Normans and was historically masculine before transitioning to predominantly feminine use in the 20th century.
Aubery carries the otherworldly charm of its elf-ruler roots — a name that has spent a thousand years crossing genders and languages, arriving in the 21st century feeling entirely contemporary and completely at ease.
