Origin:Italian
Other Origin(s):German
Meaning:"Hay; To brake, to curb, to hold back; Diligent protector"
"The feminine name Freni might just remind you of the word ""friend"" in sound and spelling. Originally an Italian last name, Freni celebrates the ability to be proactive and get things done, but also to know when it's time to slow down and take the pressure off. It stems from fieno, the Italian word for ""hay,"" encouraging your tiny tot to seize every opportunity that comes their way. In Italian, freni is a form of the verb frenare, meaning ""to brake,"" ""to curb,"" or ""to hold back."" When sweet Freni is moving full speed ahead towards a plan or goal, it might sometimes be a little difficult to stop them! Though some sources link Freni to the Germanic title Idefren, meaning ""diligent protector,"" it's unclear whether this link remains, as Idefren is not often used as a first name today. As your Freni grows, they'll experience many moments where they need to take the initiative, make big moves, or simply watch and learn from what others are doing."
