Meaning
variant of Avery, from Norman French forms of Alberich or Alfred
The story
Averie is Avery respelled for the era that liked its girls' names ending in -ie. Avery itself came through an English surname from the Norman French form of Alberich or Alfred, and the first of those was built from the Old German words for elf and ruler. So, on one branch of the family tree at least, Averie is elf royalty. The spelling is genuinely new: absent from the American record until 28 girls in the 1980s, then 398 in the 1990s, 2,456 in the 2000s, a leap to 7,209 in the 2010s, and 3,357 so far in the 2020s. A handful of boys carry it as well, 112 in the 2010s. The -ie ending is doing what it has always done: softening a surname until it sounds like it was never anything else.

South Australia
last on record 2016
Averie is not on the 2017 record for South Australia, whose registry publishes every name given that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.
Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
