Guthrey Origin and Meaning

The name Guthrey is a boy's name.

Guthrey is a rare masculine name with medieval Germanic origins, believed to be a variant spelling of Godfrey or Geoffrey. These names derive from elements meaning 'God' and 'peace' or 'free,' suggesting divine protection or peace from God. Guthrey has an aristocratic, almost literary quality that evokes images of medieval knights and noble houses. While never widely popular, it has persisted as a surname and occasional first name throughout English-speaking countries. The name carries a distinguished, somewhat archaic charm that appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and uncommon status. Its unusual spelling gives it a distinctive quality while maintaining connections to more familiar traditional names.
