Avary

Avary is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It can be considered a variant spelling of Avery, which derives from the Old English elements 'aelf' meaning 'elf' and 'ric' meaning 'ruler' or 'power.' Alternatively, it may relate to the French surname Avery, which referred to someone who kept birds (from the Old French 'averie'). As a contemporary given name, Avary blends traditional roots with a modern spelling, offering a slightly feminine twist on the increasingly unisex Avery. The name has gained modest popularity since the late 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries. Parents might choose Avary for its pleasant sound, gentle meaning associations, and the balance it strikes between uniqueness and familiarity.

Avary is also given to boys.
