Audrina

Meaning of Audrina

Audrina (aw-DREE-nuh) is a contemporary flourish on Audrey—rooted in the Old Germanic adal, “noble,” and ric, “strength”—and owes much of its public life to V.C. Andrews’ 1982 novel “My Sweet Audrina” and, later, MTV personality Audrina Patridge. The name’s melody, ending in the Latina-friendly -a, helps it glide between English and Spanish conversations, a trait that broadened its appeal in multicultural households across the Americas. U.S. birth records show a textbook pop-culture surge: from barely a dozen girls in the mid-1990s to nearly a thousand in 2011, followed by a measured decline to 83 registrations in 2024. Today Audrina offers parents a bilingual, modern-classic choice that blends literary mystique with the timeless pledge of “noble strength.”
