Where it comes from

Clipping of Geoffrey.

proper noun

A diminutive of the male given name Geoffrey. He had become increasingly petty, irritated by details, by the diminishing, for example, of their forenames—Bill, Bert, Mike, Geoff, Steve. He wanted to inquire peevishly if a commitment to Marxism was incompatible with a disyllabic forename.
