Godfroid

Godfroid is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, primarily found in French-speaking regions. It is a variant of the name Godfrey. The name's etymology traces back to the Old High German elements "god" meaning "god" or "good," and "frid" meaning "peace" or "protection." Therefore, Godfroid can be interpreted as "God's peace" or "good peace," or even "protected by God." The name experienced periods of relative popularity, particularly in medieval times, owing to associations with notable historical figures. While less common today than in the past, it remains a recognized and occasionally used name.
