About Mayfred

In the style of Winifred or Solfrid, Mayfred feels both fresh and ancient. It may be an Anglicization of the Scandinavian Majfrid, which blends fríðr meaning "beautiful" with Maj, the Swedish and Danish word for the month of May, along with a variation of Maia ("mother") and Maria ("bitter, beloved"). As such, it could be interpreted as meaning "beautiful May", "beautiful mother", or "beautiful and beloved".

Alternatively, it may be considered an English compound name, blending the Germanic frrid with either the Spring-time month name, or with the Old English mægð. This would give you the meanings "peaceful May" and "maiden of peace, peaceful kinswoman" respectively.

Pronounced MAY-fred.

As of October 2026, Mayfred ranked #5459 for girls in US births in 1923 SSA, peaked at #4083 for girls in 1915.
