Submitted Name Revision History

Medieval French form of ALFRIED, which is a short form of ADALFRIED and thus not to be confused with ALFRED. Also compare GODEFROY and GEOFFROY.

This name is sometimes listed as a medieval French form of the Germanic name ANSFRIED, but that should technically be incorrect, as names starting with Ans- typically do not become Au- in medieval French. Only names that start with Al- do, such as ALBERT (which becomes AUBERT) and ALBIN (which becomes AUBIN). Also compare AVERY.
