A borrowing from the English, Geoffrey is derived from the Middle English Geffrey, which is from the Old French Geoffroi, a name thought to have evolved from several different Germanic names. Gaufrid, of the elements govja (a district) and frithu (peace), Walahfrid, from valha (traveler) and frithu (peace), and Gisfrid, from the elements gis (pledge) and frithu (peace), are thought to be the root names. The name was borne by Geoffrey of Monmouth (c. 1100-54), a Welsh bishop, historical chronicler, and preserver of Arthurian legend. Sieffre is a common Welsh form of Geoffrey |
