Geoffrey (name)
Geoffrey is an English and French masculine given name. It is generally considered the Anglo-Norman language, Anglo-Norman form of the Germanic Compound (linguistics), compound 'god' and 'peace'. It is a derivative of Dutch Godfried, German Gottfried and Old English Gotfrith and Godfrith. Alexander MacBain considered it as being found in the Gaelic and Welsh forms; potentially before or contemporary to the Anglo-Saxon, with the examples of Goraidh, Middle Gaelic Gofraig (1467 MS.), Godfrey (do.), Irish Gofraidh (F.M.), Middle Irish Guthfrith (other), Gothfrith, Gofraig (Tigernach, 989), Early Irish Gothfraid (Lib. Lein.), E. Welsh Gothrit (Ann. Camb.). Macbain suggested these Celtic forms of the name were closer related to the Anglo-Saxon Godefrid than the Norse Goðröðr, Gudrød (other), Gudrød or Góröðr; however he does not elaborate further on the origin or relation. The form as 'Geoffrey' was probably introduced to Norman England. It was also Angli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peep Show (British TV Series)
''Peep Show'' is a British television sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. It was written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, with additional material by Mitchell and Webb, among others. It was broadcast on Channel 4 from 2003 until 2015. In 2010, it became the longest-running comedy in Channel 4 history in terms of years on air. ''Peep Show'' follows the lives of Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Webb), two very different, dysfunctional best friends who share a flat in Croydon, South London. Mark is a socially awkward and despondent loan manager, while Jeremy is a childish slacker and unemployed musician who lives in Mark's spare room. Stylistically, the show uses point of view shots—giving the programme its title—with the thoughts of main characters Mark and Jeremy audible as voice-overs. The show is also noted for its veristic portrayal of human life through a general lack of conventional character development in Mark and Jeremy, and their pu ...

Jeffrey (name)
Jeffrey is a common English given name, and a variant form of the name Geoffrey (itself from a Middle French variant of Godfrey, Gottfried). It has been argued that the common derivation of Middle French ''Geoffrey (or Geoffroy), Jeffery'' from '' Godfrey'' is mistaken, and that the names reflect two separate first Germanic elements ''god'' vs. ''gaut'', which became conflated in Old High German by the end of the early medieval period. Albert Dauzat, ''Noms et prénoms de France'', Librairie Larousse 1980, édition revue et commentée par Marie-Thérèse Morlet. p. 287b - 288a - 296ab. Outside of North America, ''Geoffrey'' is more common than ''Jeffrey''. Jeffrey and its variants are found as surnames, usually as a patronymic ending in -s (e.g., Jefferies, Jaffrays); The surname Jefferson is also a patronymic version of the given name. In Scotland, Jeffrey is most frequently found to be a surname. Variations include Jeff, Jeffry, Jeffy, Jeffery, Jeffory, Geoff, Geoffrey, Je ...
