Jefry is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Jeffrey or Geoffrey, names of Germanic origin meaning 'peace' (from 'fred/frid' meaning peace) combined with 'god' or 'good.' This streamlined spelling gives the traditional name a more modern, international feel while simplifying its orthography. The variant is particularly common in some Latin American countries, where simplified spellings of English names have gained popularity. Jefry maintains the familiar sound of Jeffrey but with a distinctive appearance that sets it apart. The name has moderate usage in Spanish-speaking communities but remains relatively uncommon in English-dominant regions. Parents might choose Jefry for its clean, straightforward spelling combined with the familiarity of the traditional Jeffrey sound and its peaceful meaning.
