Meaning:Determined peacemaker; Desiring peace
It’s all about peace and love when your little flower child arrives. Willfrid—an alternative to Wilfred—is a masculine title with German roots meaning “determined peacemaker” or “desiring peace,” from the Old English willa, meaning “will” or “desire,” and friþ, meaning “peace.” This versatile name can be shortened to Will or kept in its entire length. Either way, this title is ideal for a little peacemaker who will no doubt bring harmony, whether through their kind and gentle heart or through action such as protesting or negotiating.
