Ealhferth

Ealhferth is an Old English masculine given name. It is composed of the elements ealh meaning "temple, sanctuary" and ferth meaning "peace, protection". The name signifies someone who brings or finds peace and protection in a sacred place or context.

The name appears occasionally in Anglo-Saxon England, though it is not among the most common names recorded in historical sources. As such, detailed biographical information about individuals bearing this name is often sparse. Its rarity suggests it might have been associated with specific families or regions.

The modern use of Ealhferth as a given name is exceptionally rare, confined primarily to individuals interested in Anglo-Saxon history, culture, or reenactment. The anglicized or modernized forms of the name are virtually non-existent.
