    It is a medieval variant of the name Geoffrey, which itself is derived from the Germanic term meaning ‘God’s peace.’ Through linguistic evolution, the spelling transformed into Jeffrey, becoming the prevailing and widely used form of the name in modern times. Geoffrey is more prevalent than Jeffrey in regions beyond North America.

    The name Jeffrey has its roots in the Germanic language. Specifically, it comes from the Old High German words “gewi” (meaning “district”) and “fridu” (meaning “peace”). Over time, these two words merged to create the name “Gaufrid”, which eventually became “Geoffrey” and “Jeffrey” in English.
