Jeffie Origin and Meaning

The name Jeffie is a boy's name.

Jeffie is a masculine name that functions primarily as a diminutive form of Jeffrey or Jefferson. With English origins, it adds the affectionate -ie suffix to the medieval variant of Geoffrey, which came from Germanic elements meaning 'peace' and 'traveler' or 'district.' Jeffie has a distinctly informal, friendly quality that was more common in the early to mid-20th century, particularly in Southern United States communities. The name peaked in usage during the 1930s-1950s but has since become quite rare. Jeffie retains a certain nostalgic charm and boyish appeal, though many modern parents might use it as a nickname rather than a formal given name. It carries connotations of approachability and unpretentiousness.
