Geoffrey
About Geoffrey
In the US, this spelling is less common than mid-century favorite Jeffrey, and it has faded from popularity faster. This more British spelling is the usual form for historical figures like Geoffrey Chaucer and the Welsh historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, and as such it may feel more rooted and enduring.
Pronounced JEF-ree.
As of October 2026, Geoffrey ranked #3599 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #167 in 1975.
Editor's take: The name Geoffrey is a boy's name of French, Anglo-Saxon origin meaning "pledge of peace".
