Did you know?
- If the name is pronounced with a strong 'r', it can sound more like the French word avare, which means 'stingy' or 'greedy'.
- While Avery is rare, the French have a similar-sounding ancient name Aubry, which comes from the same Germanic roots meaning 'elf ruler'.
- Because it is an anglicism, a French speaker seeing Avery in writing may not know whether to use the masculine le or feminine la when referring to the person.
