Freida

Freida is an English given name functioning as a variant spelling of Frieda, which derives from the Old High German element fridu, meaning peace. The name is closely associated with the German-speaking world and gained wider use as an independent given name in English-speaking countries during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Mexican painter Frida Kahlo brought particular international visibility to the name in its shorter form. Related forms include Frieda, Frida, and Elfrieda.
