A male given name of Old English origin, historically used in English-speaking cultures.
From Old English 'wil' (will, desire) and 'fred' (peace), literally meaning 'one who desires peace.' The name became popular in medieval England and appears throughout English history.
Wilfred Owen, one of World War I's greatest poets, made this name famous by writing powerful anti-war poems while serving in the trenches—his work changed how people write about the horrors of war.
