History and Origin
Alfred may refer to:
English: from Old English, composed of the elements ælf elf, supernatural being + ræd counsel. It was a relatively common name before the Norman Conquest of Britain, being borne most notably by Alfred the Great (849–99), King of Wessex. After the Conquest it was adopted by the Normans in a variety of more or less radically altered forms, and provides a rare example (see also Edward) of a distinctively Old English name that has spread widely on the Continent. It was strongly revived in the 19th century, along with other names of pre-Conquest historical figures (such as Hereward), but has faded since. See also Avery.
