Meaning & Story
From Old French Auberon or German Alberich, meaning "elf ruler" — also the name of the King of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream
Auberon is Shakespeare's fairy king — the sovereign of the enchanted forest in A Midsummer Night's Dream, capricious, powerful, and magical. The name has Old French and Germanic roots meaning elf ruler, and it suits a male pet with that ineffable, otherworldly quality: the cat who seems to see things you can't, or the dog who appears precisely when needed as if by magic.
