Winifrida Origin and Meaning

The name Winifrida is a girl's name.

Winifrida is a feminine name that represents an elaborate variant of Winifred, which comes from Welsh origins (Gwenfrewi or Winefride). The name combines the Welsh elements "gwen" meaning "white, fair, blessed" and "frewi" meaning "peace." Historically, Saint Winifred was a 7th-century Welsh martyr. This extended form with the -a ending gives the name a more ornate, international quality while maintaining its Celtic heritage. Winifrida has remained quite rare throughout history, appealing to those looking for an uncommon name with historical depth. The name carries connotations of purity, peace, and spiritual blessing, while its distinctive sound offers a blend of antiquity and sophistication.
