Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɒfə] (IPA) 
The word "jofre" is spelled with a "j" instead of a "g" because it comes from Spanish. In Spanish, the "j" is pronounced like the English "h" sound. Therefore, "jofre" is pronounced "HOH-fray". The phonetic transcription for "jofre" is /hohˈfɾe/. It is important to understand the correct spelling and pronunciation of words, especially when learning a new language.
The word "jofre" has its origin in the Catalan language, particularly in the Old Catalan word "jofre" or "iofre". This word was derived from the Latin "iofridus" or "iolfredus", which was a compound name formed by combining the Germanic elements "iova" (meaning "young") and "frid" (meaning "peace"). Over time, "jofre" evolved to become a common personal name in medieval Catalonia. Nowadays, it is still occasionally used as a given name in Catalan-speaking regions.
