History & Origin

Alfredia is a feminine elaboration of Alfred, the Old English royal name from Aelfraed, 'elf counsel'. Adding the Latinate -ia was a mid-century habit for making masculine names into girls' names, and Alfredia let families pass an Alfred's name to a daughter.

It reached its high point around 1958 and stayed uncommon, fading later. A woman named Alfredia at the peak is now in her late sixties. It has not revived and reads as a mid-century Southern elaboration; Freda and Freddie serve as warm short forms, and it honors any Alfred in the family tree.

Did you know? Alfredia turns King Alfred the Great's name into a girls' name by adding -ia, a common way families honored a father or grandfather named Alfred with a daughter; it peaked around 1958.
