Origin: German

Meaning: Elf, magical being

This gorgeous name returns time after time again to top baby name lists. You're probably more familiar with its more popular form, Aubrey, which emerged from the Old German name Alberich, or Albiz. Meaning "elf" or "magical being," it refers to a mythological creature with great power. Star power is in equal measure with Aubri, though: did you know this is the given name of Canadian actor and rapper Drake? Or Aubrey Plaza, who plays the hilarious April Ludgate on Parks and Recreation? Die-hard fans of Pitch Perfect will also think of the headstrong and oca-fabulous leader of The Barden Bellas, Aubrey Posen. Whatever role model you imagine baby looking up to, their besties will probably know them better as Aubs, Bree, or Bri.
