Alfredas is English in Origin.

Alfredas is the Lithuanian masculine form of Alfred, adapted with the -as ending typical of Lithuanian grammar. The name ultimately traces to Old English Ælfrǣd, from ælf “elf” and rǣd “counsel,” yielding the meaning “elf-counsel” or, by extension, “wise counsel.”

Its wider fame stems from King Alfred the Great (9th century), whose reputation for learning and leadership kept Alfred in continuous use across England and later revived it throughout Europe in the 19th century. In Lithuania, Alfredas entered through Germanic and Polish cultural channels and became established in the 20th century; historian Alfredas Bumblauskas exemplifies modern use. International variants include Alfred (English, German, Scandinavian), Alfredo (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Alfréd (Hungarian, Czech, Slovak), and Alfreð (Icelandic). Lithuanian short forms may mirror international nicknames (Alf, Alfie, Fred) as well as local Fredas or Alfas; the feminine counterpart is Alfreda.
