History & Origin
Wilfrido is the Spanish rendering of the Old English Wilfred, and it reached American records chiefly with Spanish-speaking families. It was never widespread here, touching its modest high around 1991.
Even at that peak the name was given to only a small number of boys a year, and it has stayed an uncommon, heritage-tied choice. A boy named Wilfrido at that high point would be in his mid-thirties today. It pairs an old Germanic meaning with a warm Spanish sound.
