Etymology ''Aubrey'' is from the Norman French derivation '' Aubry'' of the Germanic given name '' Alberic'' / Old High German given name ''Alberich'', which consists of the elements ''alb'' 'elf' and ''ric'' 'power' or 'ruler', Before being largely replaced by ''Aubrey'' after the Norman Conquest of England, the Anglo-Saxons used the native form ''Ælfrīc''. The mediaeval feminine name ''Aubrée'', independently derived from the Germanic name ''Alberada'', was common in Normandy and Post-Conquest Engl ...
