Origin, Meaning, And History Of Aubry
Aubry is a French name for boys with a lengthy origin story. It is a variant of the French Aubéric which comes from Albéric. Albéric is the French version of the Germanic Alberich. Alberich is made of the Old German elements ‘alb’ meaning ‘elf’ and ‘rih’ or ‘rik,’ meaning ‘ruler’ or ‘king.’ In German legend, Alberich is a dwarf and a sorcerer who guards the treasure of Nibelungen. As Aubrey is also derived from Alberich, it could be said that Aubry and Aubrey are cousins. But while Aubrey is a unisex name, Aubry is used predominantly for boys. The name was introduced to England by the Normans.
The name may have variations such as Aubree, Aubrie, Auberi, Aubary, Aubre, Aubrei, Aubreigh, Aubri, Aubry, Aubury, Aubray, Aubree, Aubrielle, Aubrea, and Aubria.
Variants from other languages and cultures include Alberich and Alberic in Germanic, Alberich in Germanic Mythology, Alberico in Italian, Auberon, and Oberon in Literature, Elric in Medieval English, Auberi in Medieval French, Albarīks in Old Germanic, and Alfríkr in Old Norse.
Aubry is also used as a surname. The French and Canadian variant of the Irish O’Brennan is the anglicized version of the Gaelic Ó Braonáin. Therefore, the variants of this surname are Aubrey and Obrey.
Aubry has been commonly used in France and Italy. It is also used as a first name in Denmark and Finland. However, it is just making a mark in the US.
There are very few mentions of Aubry in popular culture. However, there are some well-known personalities with this name. For instance, Alberic of Trois-Fontaines, also known as Aubri orAubry de Trois-Fontainesin French, and Albericus Trium Fontium in Latin, was a Cistercian chronicler during the medieval period. He composed his writings in Latin and was a Trois-Fontaines Abbey monk in the diocese of Châlons-sur-Marne. Unfortunately, Alberic passed away sometime after 1252. Nevertheless, his chronicle provides a detailed account of global events up to the year 1241.
