Alfreida Origin and Meaning

The name Alfreida is a girl's name.

Alfreida is a feminine variation of the masculine name Alfred, which has Germanic origins meaning 'elf counsel' or 'wise elf.' The name combines the elements 'alf' (elf) and 'raed' (counsel). This feminized version emerged as a way to honor family members named Alfred while adapting the name for a daughter. Alfreida is considered quite rare in modern usage, having peaked in popularity in the early 20th century before declining. The name carries a vintage charm and distinctive character that might appeal to parents looking for something uncommon with historical roots. Some may use the nickname Frida or Freida for a more contemporary feel.
