Meaning & Origin of Alfrida
Origin: Old English (Germanic ælf- compound, uncertain).
A common claim: Baby-name sites describe Alfrida as the Old English feminine of Alfred, meaning 'elf peace.' Actually: Inconsistent -- if truly the feminine of Alfred (ælf + ræd 'counsel'), the meaning would be 'elf counsel,' not 'elf peace'; historically, names like Alfrida/Elfrida more often render Ælfþryð, 'elf strength,' a different compound entirely.
