Avari is a modern North American given name, often a creative blend or respelling of Avery and Amari. Through the Avery/Aubrey line it links to the Germanic name Alberich (alb “elf” + ric “ruler”), giving the sense “ruler of the elves.” It also echoes Tolkien’s term Avari (“the Unwilling”) for a group of Elves, a literary association rather than the name’s usual meaning.

Variant spellings and related forms include Avary, Avarie, Averi, Averie, and Avery; cousins include Aubrey and Amari. As a surname, Avari appears among South Asian Parsis (notably actor Erick Avari). Nicknames: Ava, Ari, Vari. Common pronunciations are ay-VAR-ee and uh-VAR-ee, sometimes rhyming with Avery.
