Frida

Frida is a girl's baby name of Germanic origin, from the Old High German Fridu, meaning 'peace' — from the same root as the word 'freedom.' It is also a short form of names like Elfrieda and Alfreda.

Frida Kahlo — the Mexican painter whose self-portraits and colorful works became global symbols of female resilience, pain, beauty, and identity — is the name's transcendent cultural bearer. Her unibrow, her flowers, her suffering, her fierce creativity have made Frida synonymous with unapologetic artistic selfhood. A name that declares bold individuality.
