Abriè, derived from the Afrikaans 'Abré' and the Hebrew 'Avraham', is a unique and uncommon name of South African origin. It means 'great father'. This moniker holds historical significance in South Africa as it was borne by Abrie Pienaar, a renowned rugby player who captained the Springboks, contributing to their 1995 World Cup victory.
The name Abrie experienced varied popularity over time, peaking with 22 births in both 2007 and 2011. However, it saw a significant decline from 2015 onwards, with the most recent years showing only single-digit numbers of births.
