Aubrey
Aubrey () is traditionally a male English given name. The name is from the Norman French derivation ''Aubry'' of the Germanic given name ''Alberic'' / Old High German given name ''Alberich'', which consists of the elements ''alb'' 'elf' and ''ric'' 'power' or 'ruler' , from Proto-Germanic ''*albiz'' "elf", "supernatural being" and ''*rīks'' "chieftain", "ruler". Before being largely replaced by ''Aubrey'' after the Norman Conquest of England, the Anglo-Saxons used the native form ''Ælfrīc''. Beginning in the United States in the late 20th century, the name ''Aubrey'' has come to be commonly used as a given name for girls, potentially transferred from its usage as a surname and/or influenced by ''Audrey''. It has been suggested that the modern feminine usage could also independently derive from the unrelated Germanic name ''Alberada'', by way of the Old French ''Aubrée''.François de Beaurepaire, ''Les noms des communes et anciennes paroisses de l'Eure'', éditions Picard, ...
