This post reminded me of my female ancestor named Freelove. I looked it up and it's an Old English name (Friðulaf) meaning "peace-survivor".

Interesting! I guess "peace-survivor" is a much better meaning than if it literally were "free-love." :)

aw!

Peace-survivor as a name meaning is really lovely in a kind of tragic way...
