Meaning and origin of Averie
Averie is an English and French name that is usually said to mean “from Alfred, elf counsel”.
Averie is a modern feminine spelling of Avery, an English surname generally traced to a Norman French form of Alfred, the Old English name meaning "elf counsel". Avery was used occasionally for boys for generations before becoming a favorite for girls in the United States around the start of this century. Parents then began adapting the spelling, and the -ie ending gives Averie a softer, more feminine look on paper while keeping the same sound. It shares Avery's airy, gentle feel. Expect to spell it out occasionally, since Avery remains the more familiar form.
