Wilfridda
Wilfridda Origin and Meaning
Wilfridda is a rare feminine variant of the masculine name Wilfred, which comes from Anglo-Saxon elements 'wil' (will, desire) and 'frið' (peace). This uncommon elaboration adds a feminine ending to the historic name associated with several saints and notable figures throughout European history. Wilfridda has an old-world, somewhat medieval character that might appeal to those interested in vintage or unusual names. Unlike more common feminine forms like Wilfreda, the double 'd' spelling is particularly distinctive. This name carries echoes of nobility and historic gravitas, though its rarity means a person named Wilfridda would likely need to explain her name frequently. It might appeal to families with Anglo-Saxon heritage seeking a truly unique feminine option.
