Eanfrið Name meanings & History

Eanfrið is a compound name composed of two elements; ‘Ean’ (which means ‘lamb’) and ‘frið’ (which means ‘peace’ or ‘protection’), thus making Eanfrið mean ‘lamb of protection’. The meaning of the first element of this name is uncertain. It might possibly be derived from Old English eane meaning "lamb" or the Old English verb eanian meaning "to give birth" (usually of animals), which is etymologically related to the modern English verb to yean. All are descended from (or otherwise etymologically related to) the Proto-Germanic verb *aunōną meaning "to lamb, to yean". With that said, the second element of this name is derived from Old English friþ meaning "peace". Eanfrið is commonly used as a first name for baby boys in England and other parts of the United Kingdom.
