Godfrey
German
"God's peace"Godfrey Origin and Meaning
The name Godfrey is boy's name of German origin meaning "God's peace".
Godfrey was very popular in the Middle Ages, but today you're more likely to hear it as a surname than a first name. It has a solid, old-man charm, but a couple of possible deal-breakers: the first syllable being God, and no obvious nickname. Goff, maybe? For a different feel, we also like the Italian artist's version Giotto.
