Name Root:
*friþuz *swinþaz / *swind > Frideswida
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old High German “Frideswida,” composed of two elements: “*friþuz” (peace, tranquility, friendship) plus “*swind,” from the Proto-Germanic “*swinþaz” (strong, mighty, active, healthy). In turn, the name means “one who holds peace strongly.” Saint Frithuswith (~650–727) was an English princess and abbess. She is credited with establishing a religious site later incorporated into Christ Church in Oxford; Frithuswith was the first abbess of this Oxford double monastery. Saint Frithuswith is traditionally venerated by Roman Catholic Church, Anglicanism, and Eastern Orthodox on October 19.
