FRITHSWITH.
Variant form of Anglo-Saxon Frideswide
(q.v.), meaning "peace strength," from Old English frið "peace" and swiðe
"strong." Also written Frithuswith.
... Our own Saxon saint, Frithswith,
strong in peace, was the daughter of the Lord of Oxford, in the eighth
century. She lived in a little cell portrayed in a modern window of the
cathedral at Oxford, and became the saintly patroness of the University
and Cathedral, where, by the name of St. Fridiswid, she reigned over
Alma Mater, till Wolsey laid hold of the church and its chapter for his
own splendid foundation of Christchurch. (History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884)
