Fridah is a Swahili feminine given name that means 'peaceful' or 'calm'. It's derived from the Arabic word 'salaam', which also signifies peace. This name, Fridah, has gained popularity in East Africa, particularly in countries like Kenya and Tanzania, where it is often used alongside Christian and Muslim names. In some cultures, Fridah may also be a variant spelling of the name Friday, which is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'frīge' meaning 'peaceful'. However, Fridah stands independently as a unique and meaningful name in its own right.
"The name Fridah was quite popular in 2017 with five newborn girls being named after it."
