Is Geoffery a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Geoffery: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Geoffery, and how old are they?
1,340 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 89% of the 1,514 Americans ever recorded as Geoffery. The median Geoffery alive today is 44 years old; half are between 36 and 55.
The 2020 Census counted 1,172 people named Geoffery (8 women and girls, 1,164 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,389 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Names spelled alike
Of these 4 names spelled alike, given to 56,866 babies since 1880, Geoffery is the second most given (2.7% of them). In 2025 none of their 31 babies recorded by SSA was a Geoffery (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
