Alfri is English, Norse in Origin.
Alfri is a rare modern given name with deep Germanic roots. It most naturally relates to the Old Norse elements álfr “elf” and fríðr “beautiful, beloved,” the combination seen in Icelandic Álfríður and Scandinavian Alfrida/Elfrida; in that reading, Alfri carries the poetic sense “elf-beauty” or “fair as an elf.” In English- and Romance-speaking contexts, it can also function as a clipped form of Alfred or Alfredo, extending the alternative meaning “elf counsel.”
Elf‑based names flourished in early medieval England (e.g., Ælfred, Ælfric) and were revived in the 19th century, which helps explain the spread of Alfred, Alf, and Alfie. Scandinavian Alfrida likewise saw use in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Alfri is uncommon as an independent name but fits contemporary minimalist styles. Related forms and nicknames include Alfred/Alfredo, Alf, Alfie, Alfrida/Elfrida, and the Icelandic Álfríður.
