Amauri is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Amaury, the French descendant of the Germanic Amalric, which combines amal, "work", and ric, "ruler", and is usually glossed as "industrious ruler". In the United States the name is popular with both Latino and African American families and rhymes with the fashionable Amari. Amauri peaked at number 1453 in 2009 and ranks 2209 in 2025 with 64 boys given the name.
