Elfryda Origin and Meaning

The name Elfryda is a girl's name.

Elfryda is a feminine name with Germanic origins, representing a variant spelling of Elfrida or Alfreda. The name combines the elements "elf" (referring to supernatural beings in Germanic mythology) and "frið" meaning "peace" or "beautiful." Historically, it was borne by several notable women including Anglo-Saxon royalty. Elfryda has a romantic, somewhat mystical quality with its mythological connections and elaborate sound. While uncommon in modern usage, particularly with this spelling, it appeals to parents drawn to vintage names with ethereal qualities. The name carries an air of nobility and old-world charm that distinguishes it from more contemporary naming trends.
