Godfrey
Godfrey is a masculine given name of Germanic origin meaning "God's peace." It was common in medieval England, borne by crusaders and nobles.
The name survives primarily as a surname today, though it occasionally appears as a first name: Godfrey was my grandfather's name.
The exclamation Godfrey! or Godfrey Daniel! serves as a mild oath, a euphemism avoiding "God damn."
