Gofraid

Gofraid is an Irish masculine given name, arising in the Old Irish and Middle Irish/Middle Gaelic languages, as Gofhraidh, and later partially Anglicised as Goffraid.

Gofraid corresponds to the Old Norse Guðfriðr, cognate with Gottfried or Godfredus, and Galfrid or Galfridus. Gofraid/Gofhraidh was sometimes also used for Guðrøðr (partially Anglicized as Godred, Guthred, or Guthfrith, Latinised as Godredus).

Gofraid can be Anglicised as Godfrey or Geoffrey.

The lenited variant spelling Gofraidh (or Gofraiḋ, with a diacritic in the older Irish orthography, especially in Gaelic type), was influenced by the Old French Godefroy.

Goraidh and, less commonly, Goiridh are equivalents in the Scottish Gaelic language (from Guðrøðr).
