Maifrid

A rare Norwegian name, and a variation of the Swedish Majfrid, this name has several meanings, depending on which etymological roots you follow. The second element, taken from the Norse fríðr, remains the same, however, and means "beautiful".

Mai- on the other hand can be interpreted as relating to the month of May, to the Greek name Maia, or to the international Maria and Mary. As such, the name could mean "beautiful May", "beautiful mother", "beautiful Mary", or "beautiful and beloved."

It is very, very occasionally used in Norway.

Pronounced MY-freed.
