Friedel

Friedel is a German diminutive or hypocoristic form of names beginning with the element Fried-, itself derived from the Old High German frid, meaning peace. It functions as a short form of names such as Friedrich, Friederike, or Gottfried, and has been used as both a masculine and feminine given name in German-speaking regions. The root frid is shared across many Germanic name traditions, appearing in cognates such as the English Frederick and the Dutch Freek.
