Almost. It's pronounced FREE-tha, with "th" as in that.

It could be different in Sweden, but in Danish it's pronounced as FREE-dah, so it could be done both ways. And that is the tricky thing, when having to pronounce Nordic and/or Scandinavian names in the respective tongues, whether it's Swedish, Norwegian, Danish...

The question was how Fríða (Icelandic form) was pronounced, not Frida (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish). So Caprice is right: The pronunciation is FREE-tha.

Thank you for setting that straight on this matter, since you of course have more knowledge, in how the difference in pronouncing the Nordic and Scandinavian names than I have.
