I probably just haven't searched hard enough, but I can't find anything re the name Frith.
Any thoughts, or helpful hints?

This name might originate from the Anglo-Saxon word "fyrhth", meaning "sparse woodland." Its evolved version is found in at least two English placenames, Fritham and Frithville.
It might also result from one of two Anglo-Saxon personal names, Frithi and Frithulac (no meanings given). These names are reflected in the English placenames Fritton and Frithelstock, respectively.
Which of these is correct, if any? Your call!
