Joffrey

Meaning of Joffrey

Joffrey traces its lineage to an Anglo-Norman variant of Geoffrey, itself stemming from Old Germanic roots signifying “territory” (gau) and “peace” (frid). Although it has remained relatively uncommon—typically ranking between 600 and 800 in U.S. Social Security records with fewer than ten annual registrations from the late 1960s through the early 1990s—the name has garnered cultural weight through Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet and a fictional royal figure marked by notoriously capricious rule in a modern fantasy saga. Its blend of medieval gravitas and contemporary resonance offers parents a distinctive yet understated choice.
