Winfried is a German masculine given name of Germanic origin, composed of the elements 'win' meaning 'joy', and 'frid' meaning 'peace'. It has been used historically in Germany and other Germanic-speaking regions. The name Winfried is associated with Saint Winfred, also known as Saint Winebald or Saint Gwynno, who was a Welsh missionary active in England during the 7th century. Despite its historical usage, Winfried is not a common name today, making it somewhat distinctive for those who bear it.
