Noble strength
Audie originated as a diminutive of names beginning with the Germanic element 'adal', meaning noble, or the Old English 'ethel', meaning noble. It is most famously associated with the English name Audrey or the masculine Edward. While historically used for both genders, it gained significant masculine recognition in the mid-20th century due to war hero Audie Murphy.
About 31 boys were named Audie in 2025.
