          My name is Aubrey! It means 'Ruler of the Elves' or 'supernatural being'. I am a girl, but I know this name originated from Germany, and was popular in France as a boy name. Many knights we named Aubrey, Aubry, or Abra. There are many variations of the name. It's a unique name, and I love it!
