The name Jeffie does not have a specific meaning or associated symbolism beyond its origin as a diminutive form of Jeffrey. It is important to note that while some people may prefer the use of their full name, others might embrace and use their given nickname like Jeffie without any specific attachment to the meaning behind it.
The name Jeffie peaked in popularity between 1905 and 1925 with an average of around 14 births per year during this period.
