Winfrieda
Winfrieda Origin and Meaning
Winfrieda is a feminine name with Germanic origins, representing the female form of Winfried (also spelled Winfred). Derived from the Old English elements "wine" meaning "friend" and "frið" meaning "peace," it carries the beautiful meaning of "peaceful friend" or "friend of peace." While the masculine Winfried has historical significance through Saint Boniface (whose birth name was Winfried), the feminine Winfrieda remains quite rare. The name has seen limited use in Germanic-speaking countries and regions with strong Germanic influence. Its somewhat formal and traditional sound reflects Old World European naming traditions. Winfrieda might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical depth and positive connotations of friendship and harmony.
