Character Name

Aubree

Meaning — A modern variant of Aubrey, from the Old French Auberi, from the Old High German Alberich composed of alb meaning "elf" and rich meaning "power, ruler" — thus "elf ruler" or "king of the elves". Alberich was the name of the dwarf king in Germanic mythology who guarded the treasure of the Nibelungs. The feminine spelling Aubree emerged in twentieth-century American usage.·Latin origin·Female·AW-bree

Aubree Aubree carries the Germanic fairy-realm at its root — the elf-ruler who governs the hidden world beneath the visible one, who possesses knowledge and power inaccessible to ordinary mortals. The name entered English nobility through the Normans and lost its supernatural associations over centuries, but the elf-ruler etymology gives a character named Aubree a subtle connection to the liminal and the magical. It suits characters who occupy the threshold between ordinary life and something more mysterious.
