EITHER NAME AS FIRST, WHAT DOES IT MEAN PLEASE?
this is my daughter's first and middle name.
my sister suggested "Nia" at birth and I liked it. And I found "Audrise" in a book at the library when I was in high school (MANY years ago). I don't remember the meaning, don't know anything about any origin, sorry!
I do know it belongs to my daughter, therefore Gender is FEMALE.
Thank you.

Nia is a welsh form of the irish name Niamh or Neeve meaning "bright". Although Audrise is rare there are many hits on the web for Audrice. This could be a feminine form of Audric/Aldric meaning "old rule".

I have been informed that Nia is Swahili for Purpose
