What is the meaning of the name Audris ?

The baby name Audris is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AW-dris (IPA: /ˈɔː.drɪs/; Lithuanian approx. /ˈau̯.dris/).

Audris is English, Lithuanian in Origin.

Audris has two likely sources. In Lithuanian, it is a traditional masculine name from audra “storm,” hence “storm, tempest; stormy.” Related Lithuanian forms are Audrius and Audrys (masculine) and Audra and Audrė (feminine). The name saw steady 20th‑century use in Lithuania and the diaspora, and, though rare abroad, is recognizable through bearers in academic and cultural fields.

In English-speaking use, Audris is also treated as a modern, gender-neutral variant of Audrey, which descends from Old English Æthelthryth “noble strength.” This dual pathway lets the name balance elemental force with noble virtue. Variants and cognates include Audrius, Audrys, Audra, Audrė, and Audrey; occasional creative spellings appear. Overall, Audris remains uncommon, cross‑cultural, and succinct, offering a distinctive alternative to both weather names and classic Audrey.
