Caff is in Origin.

Blending Irish surname heritage with modern brevity, Caff is most often a clipped form of Caffrey or McCaffrey. Those surnames come from the Gaelic Mac Gafraidh/Mac Gofraidh, a patronymic built on Gofraidh, the Gaelic cognate of Godfrey (from Germanic elements meaning god + peace/protection). As a result, Caff carries the approachable, punchy sound of contemporary monosyllables while retaining the older sense of divine peace or peace of God.

Variants and related forms include Caf, Caffy, Caffrey (given-name use), and McCaffrey; cognates like Godfrey and Geoffrey share the underlying meaning. Usage: rare as a standalone given name, recorded in Ireland, Britain, and beyond mainly from the late 20th century as a nickname promoted to the birth certificate; generally perceived as unisex. Spelling is stable, though some families choose Caf for an even sleeker look.
