Friz

:"This article refers to the surname of a family originating in northern Italy. For other uses, see Friz (disambiguation)"

The surname Friz derives from "Fritz", diminutive of the German name "Friederich" (Frederick), originating from the Old Germanic "Frithurik", composed of the prefix "frithu" ("peace", "friendship": Friede, in German) and the suffix "rikia" ("lord", "prince"), meaning "Lord of Peace", "The One who assures peace".

The surname is diffused on the Valle dell'Adige (Adige Valley, Province of Trento, northern Italy). It's a German surname which established originally in the Region of Trentino on the comune di Garniga (town of Garniga)."

"Der Alte Fritz" refers specifically to Frederick the Great.
