Avery
Though this name originated from the Middle Ages, it has made a comeback in recent years, especially in France. Avery comes from the Old French name Ælfræd, which translates as Alfred in English. The words ‘ælf’, meaning ‘an elf’ and ‘ræd’, meaning ‘to guide' or 'to counsel', form the parent name Ælfræd. Hence, the meaning of Avery can be translated to ‘elf advisor’ or ‘wisdom of the supernatural being’. Traditionally in Germanic and Nordic mythology, Elves had a comical appearance and were known for their teasing sense of humour. They liked to play tricks that would either help or hinder a traveller's journey, depending on their mood. The name Avery is also considered a variant of the name Aubrey. Avery Brooks is an American actor who is best known for his performance in the Star Trek movies as Benjamin Sisko. Other famous Averys are R&B popstar Avery Storm, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Avery Brundage and basketball player Avery Bradley.
