Winiefrida Origin and Meaning

The name Winiefrida is a girl's name.

Winiefrida is an elaborate variant of Winifred, a name with Welsh origins meaning 'blessed reconciliation' or 'friend of peace.' The name combines the Welsh elements 'gwyn' (fair, blessed, white) and 'fred' (peace). This particular form shows Latin influence with its '-frida' ending, similar to names like Alfrida or Elfrida. Winiefrida has a distinctly traditional, almost medieval quality that evokes images of historical figures and saints. While Winifred itself is an older name that peaked in popularity in the early 20th century, Winiefrida remains extremely rare, appealing to parents seeking a highly distinctive name with ancient roots and elaborate formality.
