Alfre Origin and Meaning

The name Alfre is a girl's name.

Alfre is an uncommon feminine name that gained some recognition through American actress Alfre Woodard. It likely originated as a variation of Alfred, a Germanic name meaning 'elf counsel' or 'wise elf,' though in its feminine form it takes on a distinct identity. The name has Old English roots and carries connotations of wisdom and mystical guidance. Extremely rare in usage, Alfre has never ranked among popular names in the US or other English-speaking countries. Its brevity and strong yet feminine sound make it distinctive, with the 'fre' ending creating a fresh, modern feel despite its ancient origins. For parents seeking a concise name with historical depth yet contemporary appeal, Alfre offers a rare option that balances strength and elegance.
