I looked up the name
Alfred, and I noticed it said it was derived from Old English "aelf" elf, and "raed", counsel. So, I figured that the Germanic cognate would be "alf" and "red".
But then, I thought of something. I wondered if there was another possible etymology too. Is it possible that
Alfred was derived from "adal" meaning noble, and "frid" meaning peace?
I noticed that Adalfrid was a name that was in the database, (albeit a submitted name), but I figured it contributed to the idea.
So my question is, is it possible that besides being derived from "aelf" and "raed", could
Alfred have been derived also from "adal" and "frid", being a contracted form of Adalfrid? Similar to how
Adalbert was contracted to
Albert, and
Adalfuns was contracted to
Alfonso etc.
