Aubrey
Aubrey is an English given name. It is most commonly a female name, although historically its use has been masculine. The name is a Norman French derivation of the Germanic given name ''Alberic'', which consists of the elements ''alf'' "elf" and ''ric'' "power", with the meaning of "Fair Ruler of the Little People."〔(Keeping to the Right )〕 Before the Norman conquest, the Anglo-Saxons used the corresponding variant ''Ælf-rīc'' (see Ælfric).
An early female form is recorded as ''Aubrée'' and does not share the same etymology. It is instead derived from the Germanic ''Albereda'' or ''Alberada''. It can be found in certain genealogies of the noble Norman families (See f. e. Aubrey of Buonalbergo).
The name is traditionally male, but is more commonly used as a feminine name in the United States. It was the 20th most popular name given to girls born in the United States in 2014.〔(Social Security Administration - Popular Baby Names )〕 The variants ''Aubree'' and ''Aubrie'' were the 61st most and 428th most popular given names for girls respectively.
It was last ranked among the top 1,000 most common names for boys in the United States in 2002. It was the 479th most common name for all males in the United States in the 1990 census.〔(Behind the Name )〕
