About Audrey
Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour — in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.
Audrey is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Aethelthryth, the name that later evolved into Etheldred or Etheldreda. St. Audrey was a seventh-century saint who was particularly revered in the Middle Ages. Her name led to the term tawdry, as cheap lace necklaces were sold at the St. Audrey fair. Shakespeare bestowed her name on a character in As You Like It.
Celebrities who have chosen Audrey include Greg Kinnear, Steve Zahn, and Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
A current representative is the French actress Audrey Tautou — who made her mark in Amelie, The Da Vinci Code, and as Coco Chanel — and who shares some of the charm of Audrey Hepburn.
As of October 2026, Audrey ranked #86 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #33 in 2013, Nameberry popularity #63.
Editor's take: The name Audrey is a girl's name of English origin meaning "noble strength".
