   the meaning of Guy is "wood, wide". From Wido, which either derives from witu   
   "wood" or wît "wide". It was used by the Normans, and in Old French w- is   
   often converted to gu-.    
   The Normans used forms like Gy and Guido. Guy of Warwick was a Norman hero of   
   the Crusades. The name may also possibly mean Welsh "lively", or Old German   
   "warrior", or from the French guie, meaning "guide; leader". Actor Guy Pearce;   
   film director Guy    
   Ritchie.

   Any French meaning would surely mean queer.
