Jeffryn
I have been looking for the origin and meaning of my name, Jeffryn, for a while now but not seem to find any info. I am female and was named after a family friend who is also female, but I have also seen it used for males as well. We have always believed the name to be of Welsh origin but have not been able to confirm this. Any help would be appreciated.

It's most likely a modern feminization of Jeffrey, using the suffix -yn (as in Jacquelyn, Carolyn, etc.)
