Meaning & Story

Audrey is an Old English name derived from Aethelthryth, composed of aethel (noble) and thryth (strength). It means 'noble strength' — an elegant combination that defined Saint Audrey, the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon queen and abbess whose festival gave us the word 'tawdry.'

Audrey is a name with real pedigree. It conjures old-world elegance — think Audrey Hepburn, think timeless style, think a cat who sits in a sunbeam with the composure of someone who has never once rushed anything. For pets, Audrey strikes the perfect balance: recognizably human but never stuffy, classic without being boring. Female dogs and cats with graceful, poised personalities wear it beautifully, as do the ones who are secretly a little dramatic when dinner is five minutes late.
