Jefry

If you're looking for a short, sweet, and sophisticated variant of Jeffrey, you might just be a fan of Jefry. In just five letters, this English masculine title showcases all that makes Jeffrey so appealing, from its J spelling to its interesting meanings. Both Jefry and Jeffrey stem from Geoffrey, the Norman French form of a Germanic name that's been lost to time. While Geoffrey's second element nearly certainly derives from the Germanic word fridu, meaning "peace," its first element has debated beginnings. It could come from gautaz, meaning "Geat," lending Geoffrey and its variants the translation of "Geat's peace." Replacing gautaz with gudą creates a new definition, "God's peace." Interpretations like "peaceful territory" and "peaceful foreigner" have also arisen, so don't be surprised if your sweet Jefry knows how to make themselves at home in every room and amongst any crowd!
