Irish: Gofraid is an Irish masculine given name, arising in the Old Irish and Middle Irish/Middle Gaelic languages, as Irish, Middle (900-1200);: Gofhraidh, and later partially Anglicised as Goffraid.
Irish: Gofraid corresponds to the Old Norse Norse, Old: Guðfriðr, cognate with Gottfried or Latin: Godfredus, and Galfrid or Latin: Galfridus. Gofraid/Gofhraidh was sometimes also used for Norse, Old: [[Guðrøðr (disambiguation)|Guðrøðr]] (partially Anglicized as Godred, Guthred, or Guthfrith, Latinised as Latin: Godredus).
Irish, Middle (900-1200);: Gofraid can be Anglicised as Godfrey or Geoffrey.
The lenited variant spelling Irish: Gofraidh (or Irish: Gofraiḋ, with a diacritic in the older Irish orthography, especially in Gaelic type), was influenced by the Old French French, Old (842-ca.1400);: Godefroy.
Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic: Goraidh and, less commonly, Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic: Goiridh are equivalents in the Scottish Gaelic language (from Norse, Old: Guðrøðr).
