Geoffroi
Geoffroi Origin and Meaning
Geoffroi is a masculine name representing the traditional French form of Geoffrey, which ultimately derives from Germanic elements meaning 'peace' (fred) and either 'territory' or 'god' (gawia). This elegant spelling preserves the name's medieval French heritage, evoking images of chivalry and courtly tradition. While Geoffrey and its variants like Jeffrey became quite common in English-speaking countries, the distinctly French Geoffroi has remained rare outside Francophone regions. The name carries a sophisticated European flair with its silent final 'i' and traditional pronunciation. For parents seeking a name with historical depth, aristocratic associations, and French cultural connections, Geoffroi offers a distinguished yet accessible option.
