History & Origin

Alfreida is one of several respellings of Alfreda that families used, adding an i to the middle, and it never strayed far from that better-known form.

The name was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1958, and it had faded by the late nineteen-seventies. A girl named Alfreida at that peak would be in her late sixties today. It reads as a vintage variant of Alfreda.

Did you know? The parent names draw on aelf, the elf of Germanic legend, joined with an element meaning strength, counsel or peace, so the name suggests a protective, spirited quality.
