Short form of names ending in freda or fred, such as WINIFRED or ALFREDA.

	WINIFRED   female   Welsh, English Anglicized form of GWENFREWI, the spelling altered by association with WINFRED. It became used in England in the 16th century.
		GWENFREWI   female   Welsh Derived from the Welsh elements gwen "white, fair, blessed" and frewi "reconciliation, peace". This was the name of a 7th-century Welsh saint and martyr.
		WINFRED   male   English Means "friend of peace" from the Old English elements wine "friend" and friþ "peace". This was the birth name of the 8th-century missionary Saint Boniface. It became rare after the Norman conquest, though it was revived in the 19th century.
	ALFREDA   female   Polish, German, Italian, English Feminine form of ALFRED.
		ALFRED   male   English, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Polish, Dutch Derived from the Old English name Ælfræd, composed of the elements ælf "elf" and ræd "counsel". Alfred the Great was a 9th-century king of Wessex who fought unceasingly against the Danes living in northeast England. He was also a scholar, and he translated many Latin books into Old English. His fame helped to ensure the usage of this name even after the Norman conquest, when most Old English names were replaced by Norman ones. It became rare by the end of the Middle Ages, but was revived in the 18th century. Famous bearers include the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892), the Swedish inventor and Nobel Prize founder Alfred Nobel (1833-1896), and the American firm director Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980).
