An uncommon German pick — distinctive and rare.
Fredy is a boy's baby name of German origin, a Spanish-language spelling of Freddy, the diminutive of Frederick, from the Old High German meaning 'peaceful ruler' or 'powerful peace,' from fridu (peace) and rih (ruler). The -y spelling reflects Spanish phonetic convention.
Over 4,740 U.S. births are recorded, used primarily in Latino communities. Fredy carries the warmth and friendliness of Freddy with a distinctly Latin American character.
Fredy was #1135 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #1834, but its charm endures.
