Freida is German, Germanic in Origin.
Freida is an English spelling variant of German Frieda, a feminine short form built on the Germanic name element fried. Its oldest recoverable form is Old High German fridu, from Proto-Germanic *friþuz, denoting peace, protection, or a state of security. When Frieda abbreviates Friederike, the second element is Old High German rīhhi, ruler or powerful, so the compound behind that fuller name has the literal sense peaceful ruler; as an independent name, Freida is normally interpreted simply as peace.
Frieda and Frida were used in German-speaking areas before entering English-language records in the nineteenth century, with Freida reflecting an Anglicized vowel spelling. In the United States it appeared in SSA data from the 1880s, was most visible in early twentieth-century cohorts, and is now uncommon. Notable bearers include actress Freida Pinto and filmmaker Freida Lee Mock; related forms include Frieda, Frida, Freda, and Friederike.
