Aubriya is in Origin.
Aubriya is a modern, phonetic elaboration of Aubrey/Aubrie, built on the Germanic root Alberich (alb “elf” + ric “ruler”), yielding the meaning “elf ruler.” The name reached English via Norman French Aubri/Aubrey and long functioned as a male given name and surname; in contemporary use, the spelling with -ya softens the ending and aligns it with fashionable -ya names without changing the etymology.
Medieval records across England and France show Aubrey and Aubry, while the feminine medieval French Aubrée also appears. In the English-speaking world, Aubrey shifted strongly to the girls’ side in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, inspiring variants such as Aubree, Aubrie, Aubri, Aubry, and the rarer Aubriya/Aubriyah. Diminutives include Aubri and Bree. Though some perceive -ya as evoking the Hebrew divine element -yah, Aubriya’s history remains tied to Alberich and the long-running Aubrey family of names.
