Freni

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Swiss

Meaning: To brake; Curb; Hay

Freni is a Swiss name for girls. A melting pot of cultures, Switzerland’s influences are many, and as such, this short and sweet name has been derived from various languages. This includes the French _frein_, Italian _freno_, and Latin _frēnum_. While it takes on the meaning “to brake” and “curb,” it may also very well refer to “hay” from the Italian _fieno_ or the Latin _fenum_. So naming baby Freni not only encourages your little one to keep things in check, but it will also inspire them to make hay while the sun shines!
