3. Alfrednoun

   A male given name from Old English.

   Unfortunately for me my father had combined diplomacy with a study of Anglo-Saxon history and, of course with my mother's consent, he gave me the name of Alfred, one of his heroes. This Christian name, for some inexplicable reason, had become corrupted in the eyes of our middle-class world; it belonged exclusively now to the working class and was usually abbreviated to Alf. Perhaps that was why Doctor Fisher, the inventor of Dentophil Bouquet, never called me anything but Jones, even after I married his daughter.

4. Alfrednoun

5. Alfrednoun

   A town, the county seat of York County, Maine, United States.

6. Etymology: From Old English ælf- = "elf" + -ræd or -rēd = "counsel".
