Wiktionary

From Middle English Geffrey, from an Old French aristocratic name, Geoffroi [dʒɔfreʲ] (> West Middle French Geoffrey, East Middle French Geoffroy), itself from Proto-French forms (latinized in -us) Jotfredus, Jozsfredus, Josfredus (10th century) and Jof[f]redus, Jofridus, Jaufredus, Geffredus (11th century), and ultimately of Germanic origin. The second element is *friþuz (“peace, sanctuary”). The first element may be *gautaz (“Geat”) (making the Proto-Germanic term *Gautafriþuz), as opposed to god or gud in Godfrey; this would also make it related to Jocelyn. The name was introduced to England by the Normans in the 11th century.

  1. A male given name from the Germanic languages. Popular in the U.K. in the 20th century.
