Girl

Audra

Audra means "Old English æthel (noble) + thryth (strength)" and comes from Old English, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It has cooled since its 1970s peak, though it is still chosen today. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. Its single strongest year on record was 1967.
