Lein.), E. Welsh Gothrit (Ann. Camb.). Macbain suggested these Celtic forms of the name were closer related to the Anglo-Saxon Godefrid than the Norse Goðröðr, Gudrød (other), Gudrød or Góröðr; however he does not elaborate further on the origin or relation. It was also Anglicisation, Anglicised as Jeffrey (name), Jeffrey later. Popul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
