What Is The Diminutive Of Your Name? by Winifred468(f): 8:48pm On Jul 10, 2015
The diminutive of a name is a short informal form of that name. A name may have one or more diminutive(s)
For instance, the diminutives of my English name 'winifred' are; Freddie, Winnie, Freda and Fred While the diminutive of my Nigerian name 'kehinde' is 'kenny'.

Add yours.

Freda is not a diminutive of Winifred.

Its a Scandinavian name derived from Frida or Fried.

Fred is also not a diminutive of Winifred since its a male name while Winifred is female.
