Anfri is in Origin.

Anfri is a rare modern given name traceable to the medieval Germanic compound Ansfrid/Ansfridus, formed from ans- “god, deity” (Proto-Germanic ansuz; Old Norse ás) and -frid “peace, protection” (Proto-Germanic friþuz). Through Norman and Old French phonology, the s before f often dropped, yielding forms like Anfroi/Anfrey; Anfri reads as a streamlined contemporary adaptation of that lineage. The sense is commonly glossed as “divine peace” or “protected by the gods.”

The wider name family has been used across northern Europe since the early Middle Ages - Bishop Ansfridus of Utrecht is a noted bearer - and overlaps with the Scandinavian feminine Ásfríðr/Asfrid, where the second element can also mean “fair, beloved,” giving an alternate reading “god-beauty.” Related variants include Ansfrid, Ansfried, Ansfridus (Latin), Asfrid/Åsfrid (Scandinavian), and French-influenced Anfroi/Anfrey. Modern spellings such as Anfri suit unisex use while preserving a deep Germanic heritage.
