What is the meaning of the name Joffry ?

The baby name Joffry is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɒfri/ (JOFF-ree).

Joffry is French, Germanic in Origin.

Joffry is a modern English spelling variant of Joffrey, itself a late respelling of Geoffrey/Jeffrey. The name descends from Old French Geoffroi/Geuffroi, introduced to Britain by the Normans and ultimately Germanic. Its second element is frid “peace”; the first is debated - gau “region,” gōd/god “good, god,” or gīsal “pledge” - yielding common interpretations such as “God’s peace” or “pledge of peace.”

In medieval England the Geoffrey form was borne by figures like Geoffrey of Monmouth, Geoffrey Plantagenet, and Geoffrey Chaucer. Jeffrey flourished in the 20th century, while Joffrey/Joffry remain rare, buoyed by modern pop culture. Variants and cognates include Geoffrey, Jeffery, Jeffry, Joffrey, Geoffroy (French), Geoffroi (medieval French), and Jofre (Catalan); nicknames include Jeff and Geoff. Usage appears mainly in English-speaking regions and occasionally in France and the Low Countries.
