Manfred
Means "man of peace"
Manfred is a German masculine name meaning "man of peace" or "strength and peace." It appears as the title character in Byron's dramatic poem about a tormented nobleman who seeks forbidden knowledge and communion with spirits.
The name was moderately popular in German-speaking countries through the mid-twentieth century but has declined in use.
Manfred summoned the spirits but found no relief from his guilt.
