History & Origin
Jeoffrey is a variant spelling of Geoffrey, a name the Normans brought to England whose second element is frid, 'peace.' The first part is genuinely disputed by scholars, and the Jeoffrey spelling is an older stylistic form rather than a separate name.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-eighties. A boy named Jeoffrey then is in his forties today, carrying an unusual take on a familiar name.
