Bestow a brave spirit on baby with the name Jefford. This masculine moniker is a variant of Giffard and has two possible roots. Tracing back to Old German roots, Giffard or Gebhard can be split into two elements—geba and hart—meaning “gift” and “brave, hardy,” respectively. In Old French, gifart translates to “chubby.” Hearing this, you can only dream of a chubby-cheeked little one, gurgling and full of joy. Then, as they embark on life’s adventure, they will become daring, confident, and capable of taking risks. Whatever their destiny, baby Jefford will definitely be a gift in your life.
