There was an actor called
Audie Murphy, who was at least partly of Irish descent.
Audie wasn't short for
Audrey (it really was his official first name), so what could the meaning or origin of this name be? I find it an intriguing name for a man born in 1924. :)

Thank you to anyone that can shed some more light on this interesting name! :)
