Fredia

Fredia is a feminine variant of the name Fred or Frederick, which has Germanic origins meaning "peaceful ruler." This less common spelling adds a softer, more feminine touch to the traditional Freda or Frieda forms. While not as widely used as some other feminine variants of Frederick, Fredia has maintained a quiet presence throughout the 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1930s-1950s but has since become increasingly rare. Fredia carries the warmth and dependability associated with its root name while offering a slightly distinctive spelling.

Pronounced FRED-ee-uh.

As of October 2026, Fredia ranked #13690 in US births in 1990 SSA, peaked at #1002 in 1939.
