Friedhelm

Friedhelm is a German masculine given name. It is derived from the Old High German elements fridu meaning "peace, protection" and helm meaning "helmet, protection." Thus, the name can be interpreted as "peaceful protector" or "protected by peace."

The name Friedhelm was relatively common in Germany in the mid-20th century, but its popularity has since declined. It is less frequently used in contemporary German-speaking countries.

While primarily a first name, Friedhelm can occasionally appear as part of a surname or a location name, although this is less common. The name is strongly associated with German cultural and linguistic heritage.
