Notes:

Old English "noble strength", similar to Elfreda but not connected.

Latinised forms of Audrey found in old documents are Adria and Audria [q.v.].

Like Ethel, Audrey is derived from Etheldreda, which may also be used as a Latinised form of the name in old documents. Care must be taken to note case endings.
