History and Origin
Humphrey is both a masculine given name and a surname. Notable people with the name include:
English: of Germanic origin, introduced to Britain by the Normans. It is composed of the elements hun bear-cub, warrior + fred, frid peace. A form of this name (Hunfrith) existed in England before the Conquest, but it was replaced by the Norman Continental version Hunfrid. The spelling with -ph-reflects classicizing influence. It has always enjoyed a modest popularity in England. Perhaps its best known bearer was the Duke of Gloucester (1391–1447), youngest son of King Henry IV, known as ‘Duke Humphrey’. He was noted as a patron of literature, and founded what is now part of the Bodleian Library at Oxford. In Ireland this has been used as an Anglicized form of Gaelic Amhlaoibh.
