What is the meaning of the name Gee ?

The baby name Gee is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒiː/ (rhymes with 'see').

Gee is Chinese, English, Korean in Origin.

Gee is a multicultural given name and surname-turned-first-name with several etymologies. In England, it arose from the Norman French personal name Guy (from Germanic Wido ‘wood/forest’) and as a nickname for bearers of the initial G. In Ireland, Gee is a clipped form of McGee/Magee, from Gaelic Mac Aodha ‘son of Aodh,’ Aodh meaning ‘fire.’ In Chinese diaspora communities, Gee often represents Cantonese/Toishanese romanizations of surnames written Ji in Mandarin; meanings vary by character, commonly including 紀 ‘record; chronicle.’

As a given name in the English-speaking world, Gee has seen modest, mostly unisex use from the 19th century onward, often as a familiar form of George, Georgia, Genevieve, or Gianna. Variants and related forms include Gi, Ji, Gie, Guy; Irish McGee/Magee; and Cantonese Gei/Kei. Overall meanings range from ‘wood/forest’ and ‘fire’ to character-specific Chinese senses.
