What Gogi means
Where Gogi comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Gogi begins in Georgia, the Caucasus country, as a short and affectionate form of Giorgi. Giorgi is the Georgian version of George, and George descends from the Greek Georgios, built from ge, meaning earth, and ergon, meaning work. The literal sense is farmer, one who works the soil. So a boy called Gogi holds, in miniature, the name of a plowman.
Giorgi ranks among the most common names in Georgia, and Gogi is the everyday nickname family and friends reach for. Its origin is filed here simply as other, outside the Slavic and Latin roots that fill Polish name books. That makes it a visitor.
On a Polish class register, Gogi would sit apart from the Grzegorzes and the Jerzys, though Jerzy grows from that same Greek farmer at its far root. The short meaning stays plain: rolnik, a diminutive of Giorgi.
