Audie

Audie is a given name and nickname used in English-speaking countries. It is predominantly masculine, though it can be used for women in some contexts, and it functions as both a standalone given name and a familiar form of longer names.

In publishing and media, the Audie Awards are annual honors presented by the Audio Publishers Association to recognize excellence in audiobook production, narration, and related aspects of spoken-word entertainment. The awards are commonly referred to as the Audies. Categories span narration by male and female voice talent, production quality, and achievements across fiction and nonfiction in audiobook format.

Beyond these uses, Audie may appear as a personal name in various cultures and literary works. As with many given names, its popularity and associations have shifted over time and by region, reflecting broader trends in English-language naming conventions.
