📖 À propos Gottfried

Gottfried est un nom germanique distingué aux profondes racines médiévales. Issu du vieux haut-allemand Gott (Dieu) et frid (paix), il signifie « paix de Dieu ». C'est la forme allemande de Godefroy, porté par des nobles et croisés au Moyen Âge et illustré par le philosophe Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz au siècle des Lumières. Rare aujourd'hui, il conserve une empreinte historique remarquable.
