Alfreda Bosworth Withington (1860 – 1951) was an American physician and author. She attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1877 to 1881. She then interned at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, but was refused a position at the Infirmary, as none of the directors would agree to let her take the entrance examination. At the age of 63, she obtained a Kentucky medical license and traveled to work as a medical settlement physician for 7 years, between 1924 and 1931, ordinarily making calls on horseback.

Alfreda Noncia Markowska (10 May 1926 – 30 January 2021) was a Polish-Romani woman who during World War II saved approximately fifty Jewish and Roma children from death in the Holocaust and the Porajmos genocide.
Alfreda M. Duster (September 3, 1904 – April 2, 1983) was a social worker and civic leader in Chicago. She is best known as the youngest daughter of civil rights activist Ida B. Wells and as the editor of her mother's posthumously published autobiography, "Crusade for Justice: The Autobiography of Ida B. Wells" (1970).
The only girl, in my opinion, who can carry off the name "Fred" is the character from the musical, "Once Upon A Mattress", the musical comedy version of the old fable, "The Princess and the Pea". She drinks like a lord, sings like a bird, dances with grace, a clever, clownish wit! If you think she'll be a tomboy, go for it!
I think this name is really sweet. Then again, I imagine it pronounced the way the little boy in "Cinema Paradiso" pronounces "Alfredo". And I have a soft spot for Italian names.
