Winefried
wi-nef-ried,
win(e)-fried
Origin:Welsh
Meaning:Blessed; Joy; Peace
Winefried is a variation of the feminine name Winifred, which comes from the Old Welsh name Gwenfrewi. It takes its meaning from the words wynn, meaning "joy," and frio, meaning "peace." Thanks to their links to Saint Winifred, baby Winefried also inherits the meaning of "blessed," adding to your little one's overall captivating aura. Saint Winifred dates back to the seventh century and became a famous tale by the 1100s. Still, the name remains as relevant as ever, something Bette Midler proved with her star turn in the Hocus Pocus movies, playing the character Winifred Sanderson. Baby will spread peace and joy wherever they go as folks welcome little Winefried and their blessed nature with open arms.
