Eldrid is a unique and distinctive given name of Norse origin. It is derived from the Old Norse elements 'eld', meaning fire, and 'riðr', which translates to peace or protection. This combination suggests that Eldrid may have once been associated with the idea of a peaceful or protected by fire, though its exact significance has been lost over time. The name Eldrid is relatively rare today, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a distinctive and memorable name for their child.
The name Eldrid experienced a brief spike in popularity between 1917 and 1918 with eight births that year, but otherwise remained steady at five births per year in 1917, 1936, and 1941, totaling to twenty-three births over this period.
