People with the name Ried have a deep inner desire for travel and adventure, and want to set their own pace in life without being governed by tradition.
From the Old Norse Alvíss meaning “all wise”. In Norse mythology this was the name of a dwarf who was to marry Thor’s daughter Thrud. Thor was not pleased with this so he tricked Alvis by asking him questions until the sun rose, at which time the dwarf was turned into stone.
