I would think that Atheldred is a variant of Etheldred, since Atheldreda is a variant of Etheldreda. I've been trying to find a source for verification but can't find anything.

Etheldred Benett (1776 – 1845) was an English geologist often credited with being the first female geologist, having devoted much of her life to collecting and studying fossils that she discovered in South West England. She worked closely with many principal geologists and her fossil collection, considered one of the largest at the time, played a part in the development of geology as a field of science.

This name absolutely slaps, I do not plan on having children but someone else PLEASE name your child Etheldred, or name yourself Etheldred, it's a name that would suit some sort of battle princess or warrior queen.

I think this name is mysterious and pretty. It does sound a bit harsh but beyond that I think it is so unique, and I love unique names. My friends think this name sounds bad. They believe it sounds too wordy, like a mouthful- a mixture of Ethel and Mildred they are like BLEH! Now I'm not so sure about it as a first name in today's world but it is a good middle name.

Etheldred became a masculine name in some areas of the United States. In my search results, the name as used for men seems to have started in the mid to late 1700s in North and South Carolina.
The man I am tracking was named Etheldred, but his name also appears as Etheldredum, Etheraldred, Dred, Dredachel, E. D., and "Tommie".

I'd just like to endorse the comment by Alafare. I myself am descended from a male Etheldred (Etheldred Tarver) who lived in the state of Georgia in the United States in the 19th century. I always think of Etheldred as being a male name myself because of that.

Sounds like two already horrible names, Ethel and Mildred, mixed together into one mess of a name.

The only place I've seen this name is in the novel "The Daisy Chain" by Charlotte Mary Yonge. Etheldred is a very good character, and I like the name because it is unique. The book was great too! :)

What a strange name! I like the name Ethel, but I don't really like the '-dred' ending; it reminds me of the ordinary English vocabulary word 'dread' (to fear greatly; to anticipate with fear). :/
