related_morphemes: fred / fred

categorical_group_list: Affection, Social status

etymology: From Old English frēo 'free, at peace' (related to Old High German frī, Gothic frijō), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *frījaz 'free', from Proto-Indo-European *priHós 'dear, beloved'. The element -frey- in names like Geoffrey/Godfrey derives from the Germanic word frid 'peace' (cf. Old English frēd, Old High German fridu), often conflated or associated with 'free' in folk etymology, but specifically denoting peace or protection in the context of the name elements (e.g., Geoffrey = 'peace of the people' or 'divine peace' depending on the first element).
