Guifré

ghee-FREH

Catalan form of Wilfred

"desires peace"

Guifré Origin and Meaning

The name Guifré is a boy's name meaning "desires peace".

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is the Catalan form of Geoffrey, but it actually comes from a slightly different Germanic name — also with a peaceful meaning. It's a historical choice, belonging to several medieval counts. In modern times, Guifré Vidal is a leading quantum physicist.
