Audrye is English in Origin.

Audrye is a modern variant spelling of Audrey, which stems from Old English Æthelthryth (Æthel “noble” + þryð “strength, power”). The name passed through the medieval Latinized Etheldreda/Ethelreda before settling as Audrey in Middle English. Its early fame traces to the 7th-century saint Æthelthryth (St. Etheldreda) of Ely. “Tawdry,” from St. Audrey’s lace sold at Ely fairs, briefly tarnished its appeal, but the name revived in the 19th century and soared again with Audrey Hepburn.

Audrye preserves the same meaning, “noble strength,” while offering a distinctive look; pronunciation typically matches Audrey (AW-dree). Cognates and historical forms include Æthelthryth, Etheldreda, and Ethelreda. Contemporary variants and nicknames include Audrey, Audrie, Audree, Audry, Audri, and Audie or Dree. Usage today spans the English-speaking world and francophone countries, where Audrey is also common.
