Aubreya (aw-BREE-uh) is a modern feminine elaboration of Aubrey, the Norman French form of the Germanic name Alberich, composed of alb "elf" and ric "ruler, power." Brought to England by the Normans, Aubrey was borne by medieval men - appearing among clerics, knights, and later as a surname - before shifting toward unisex and then predominantly feminine use in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially in North America.
