Auberon is French in Origin.
Auberon is the French-borne form of a Germanic name ultimately traced to Alberich, from the elements alb/alf meaning “elf” and ric meaning “ruler, power,” hence “ruler of the elves.” The form Auberon (later Oberon) entered Western literature via the 13th-century French romance Huon de Bordeaux, where the fairy king bears the name; Shakespeare then popularized Oberon as the king of the fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
In English use, Auberon has remained rare yet distinguished, notably worn by journalist Auberon Waugh, and it enjoyed a modest revival alongside Victorian medievalism and modern fantasy. Variants and cognates include Oberon (English), Obéron (modern French), Alberich (German), Alberic/Aubry/Aubrey (French and English), and Alberico (Italian). With its lyrical sound and mythic aura, Auberon offers an elegant alternative to Aubrey and the more theatrical Oberon.
