Manfredo Origin and Meaning

The name Manfredo is a boy's name of Italian origin.

Manfredo is a masculine name of Italian and Germanic origin. It combines the Germanic elements 'man' (meaning 'man') and 'fred' (meaning 'peace'), thus conveying the meaning 'man of peace.' The name came to Italy through Lombard influence and gained popularity during the medieval period. Its most famous bearer was Manfred of Sicily, a 13th-century king.
