Origin: German

Meaning: Elf-strength

This loveable name for baby girls means "elf-strength"—need we say more? For good measure, you should know that Elfriede is positively ancient. It's rooted in the Old English and German pick Alfieda, popular during the Middle Ages. By the mid-1900s, this British name was back in fashion, thanks to Nobel Prize-winning writer Elfriede Jelinek. Some more popular forms emerged, too, like Friedel and Friedl. Elfriede's magical vibes will ensure baby's nimble, quick, and strong in both mind and heart. They may also feel a deep connection with nature, made even more immersive with those large, pointed ears!
