Fried Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(German) Descendant of Fried, a pet form of Friedrich (peace, ruler).

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

(from the name of a male ancestor) These names which have the idea of peace were patronyms for Shelomo (Solomon) or Shalom. There were many European countries in which it was forbidden to assume Hebrew names as family names. By selecting names like Fried or Friedman, which were perfectly good German words, the Jews could still preserve the meaning of Solomon and Shalom.

— Rabbi Benzion Kaganoff
