Classic....I like it. =) I like it I have a very good friend named Aubrey. theres nothing wrong with it cute! I like it, it has a cute sophisticated ring to it Awww I kinda like it! I didn't know how to pronounce it at first lol. But I figured it out. lol. I like it! its a nice name Old southern name : Hank Williams' mother's name. NICE!!!!!!! I only knew a man by the name until recently, and then a lady contacted me for some genealogical help, she has the same name.This information came from www.ancestry.com AUBREY English: from a Norman French form of the Germanic name Alberic, composed of the elements alb elf, supernatural being + ric power. This was the (appropriate) name, according to Germanic mythology, of the king of the elves. The native Old English cognate, ?lfric, borne by a 10th-century archbishop of Canterbury, did not long survive the Conquest. Aubrey was a relatively common given name during the Middle Ages, but later fell out of favour. Its occurrence since the 19th century may in part represent a transferred use of the surname derived from the Norman given name, as well as a revival of the latter, hope this helps. |
