Meaning and background

The story behind Audie

Audie has more than one recorded use. It can be an affectionate form of Audrey, a name with Anglo-Saxon roots, but it also appears independently, as in the American soldier and actor Audie Murphy, whose own name’s etymology is uncertain. That distinction rules out giving every Audie the full Audrey translation. It is a short, two-syllable call name with a familiar -ie ending.

Origin
Used in English as a diminutive of Audrey, but independently borne by Audie Murphy with uncertain name derivation. Source
Pronunciation
/ˈɔː.di/ (English). Source
