Gioffre is Italian in Origin.
Gioffre is a rare Italianized form that ultimately traces to the medieval Germanic name behind English Geoffrey and French Geoffroi. Via Old French and Occitan (Jaufré) into Catalan (Jofre), the form took root in Italy - famously borne by Gioffre Borgia (1482–1516), the youngest son of Pope Alexander VI. His Valencian family background explains the Catalan-inflected spelling seen in Italian records.
Etymology points to Germanic elements such as gau/gawia “territory” or gisal “pledge” combined with frid “peace,” yielding interpretations like “peace of the land” or “pledge of peace.” Over time the line also intertwined with Godfrey (Godafrid), read as “God’s peace.” Close variants and cognates include Geoffrey/Jeffrey (English), Geoffroy/Geoffroi (French), Jofre (Catalan), Jaufré (Occitan), Goffredo/Gioffredo (Italian), and Godofredo (Spanish/Portuguese). Modern nicknames may be Gio or, by association, Geoff/Jeff. Contemporary usage is uncommon and carries a distinctly medieval-aristocratic tone.
Gioffre is exceptionally rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
