Aubree
/ˈɔb.ɹi/
Aubree is a feminine variant of Aubrey, from the Norman French Alberic, itself from the Germanic elements alb (“elf”) and ric (“ruler, power”). The name means “elf ruler.”
The “ee” ending feminises the spelling, following the same pattern as Charlee and Emilee. It emerged as Aubrey itself shifted toward predominantly feminine use.
Aubree ranked No. 408 in 2024 with 773 births. It peaked at No. 53 in 2013 with 4,453 births, riding the peak of the Aubrey/Aubree wave.

Reality TV personality Aubree Houska, from Teen Mom 2, contributed to the name’s exposure during its peak years.
Two syllables - AW-bree - are elegant and modern. The spelling adds a visual softness that appeals to parents seeking a distinctly feminine form.
