Frieda (first name)
Frieda is a German female given name .
origin
Frieda is the short form of full names with Fried (e) - und -friede .
Frieda comes from the Old High German word fridu and means peace , or as in Elfriede from the Old English þryð, which means "strength" or "strength".
The name is a little more common in Germany and Switzerland than in Austria . In Denmark, however, 'Frida' is commonplace and very popular.
distribution
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name Frieda ( Frida ) was one of the ten most frequently given female first names in Germany, and in 1891 it was even number one in the frequency statistics. Its popularity fell sharply in the 1920s and 1930s, so that from the mid-1940s onwards, hardly any children were called Frieda. Since the turn of the millennium, however, the name has been given a little more frequently.
