Alfrida is a female given name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old German elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "fridu" meaning "peace". The name was popular among the Anglo-Saxons during the Middle Ages and was often used as a short form of compound names such as Adalfrida or Adelheid.
Alfrida is also associated with several historical figures. One notable example is Saint Alfrida, who was a queen consort of Germany in the 10th century. She was known for her piety and kindness, and was eventually canonized by the Catholic Church.
Despite its historic roots, Alfrida remains relatively uncommon today, making it a unique and distinctive name choice for parents looking to give their daughter a strong and meaningful name with a rich history behind it.
