This Jeff was named in 1945. The birth announcements went out for John thin mysteriously turned into Jeffry when the birth certificate arrived. I've never spelled it that way, and didn't notice until I was about 30. John wouldn't have been a great name for a Jewish boy anyway.
There’s a phenomenon called Jeffpardy where everyone around you, especially in professional work circles, is named Jeff. I’ve reported to and hired many “Jeff’s.” A Slack channel was dedicated to the community of Jeff’s at former employer.

my Jewish best friend growing up in 80's was a Jon, but his mom was Christian so maybe that was the compromise?
