English: nickname for a companionable person, from Middle English frend, frond ‘friend’ (Old English frēond). In the Middle Ages the term was also used to denote a relative or kinsman, and the surname may also have been acquired by someone who belonged to the family of someone who was a more important figure in the community. Eleventh-century evidence for the word also shows it in use as a personal name (independently as Frent, 1086 in Essex, and as the first element in the placename Frindsbury in Kent).
