Census
Audri in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,294 people with the first name Audri, which placed it at #10,355 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Audri
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audri is White at 58.1%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (23.3%) and Black (9.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Audri described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Audri at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Audri
The name Audri is believed to have its origins in the Old English language, with roots dating back to the 7th century. It is derived from the Old English word "aud," which means "wealth" or "prosperity." The name was initially popular among the Anglo-Saxon communities of England, particularly in regions such as Wessex and Mercia.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Audri can be found in the Lindisfarne Gospels, a renowned illuminated manuscript created around 700 AD on the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England. The name appears in a list of scribes and scribes who contributed to the creation of this masterpiece.
In the Middle Ages, the name Audri was associated with several notable figures. Audri of Fontevrauld (1060-1109) was a French abbess and the founder of the Fontevrauld Abbey, one of the most influential monastic communities of the time. Another historical figure bearing this name was Audri of Normandy (1035-1086), a noblewoman and the wife of William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England.
During the Renaissance period, the name Audri gained popularity in certain regions of Europe. Audri Tiziano (1489-1576) was an Italian painter and one of the masters of the Venetian school, renowned for his vivid portraiture and landscapes. In England, Audri Bacon (1561-1626) was a prominent philosopher and statesman during the reign of King James I.
In the 19th century, Audri Curie (1867-1934), the pioneering physicist and chemist, brought further recognition to the name. Born in Warsaw, Poland, she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice, in different fields of science.
Throughout its long history, the name Audri has been borne by numerous individuals from various walks of life, including artists, scholars, and leaders. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to its elegant sound and its association with wealth and prosperity, dating back to its Old English origins.

FAQ
Audri: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Audri?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,268 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Audri going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 270,311 US residents.
Is Audri a common name?
We classify Audri as "Rare". It ranks above 91.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,296 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Audri most popular?
The single biggest year for Audri was 2010, when 72 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Audri is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Audri in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,294 people with the name Audri, or 0.43 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #10,355 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Audri in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Audri?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Audri appears almost entirely female. Of the 1,296 people counted with this name, 99.2% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Audri?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audri is White at 58.1%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (23.3%) and Black (9.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Audri most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Audri in the 2020 Census, accounting for 58.1% (752 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Audri in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Audri a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Audri in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Audri still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Audri in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Audri can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
