Avory Origin and Meaning
The name Avory is a boy's name.
Avory is a gender-neutral name that has traditionally been used more often for boys. It has multiple possible origins: it may be a variant of Avery (derived from the Old English 'aelf' meaning elf and 'ric' meaning ruler), or related to the Latin 'avis' meaning bird, suggesting qualities of freedom and flight. The name also bears resemblance to ivory, the precious material, potentially giving it associations with rarity and value. Avory has maintained a steady but uncommon presence in English-speaking countries, particularly appealing to parents seeking a name with classic roots yet a distinctive spelling. Its soft sound coupled with strong meaning gives it versatile appeal across genders.
