Audra

Gender: Feminine
Origin: Lithuanian
Meaning: “storm.”
(OW-drah).

The name comes directly from the Lithuanian word for storm. It is currently fairly common in Lithuania.

Other forms include, Audrė, Audrinė, Audrona, Audronė, (ow-DROH-nay); Audronija amd Audrūnė (ow-DROO-ney).

Male forms are Audronis and Audrinas.

Audra is occasionally used in Latvia and the Latvian male forms are Audris and Audrius.

Audra also coincides with the English variation of Audrey, in which case it is pronounced (AW-druh). The latter appeared in the U.S. Top 1000 between 1966-2001, peaking at #246 in 1967.

Credit goes to Capucine for alerting me of the Latvian masculine forms.
