Gigi is in Origin.

Gigi is a multilingual diminutive used across Italian, French, and English, most often clipped from Gi- names. For girls it can abbreviate Giorgia/Georgia or Georgina (from Greek georgos, "farmer, earth-worker"), Virginia (Latin virgo, "maiden; pure"), or Giovanna/Gianna (from Hebrew Yohanan, "God is gracious"). In Italy it also serves as a well-known male nickname for Luigi or Gianluigi (from Germanic Ludwig, "famous in battle"). Because Gigi is a pet form rather than a single-root name, its meaning follows the parent name.

As an independent given name, Gigi gained international visibility through Colette's novella Gigi (1944), whose heroine's full French name is Gilberte, followed by the 1958 MGM musical, prompting mid-century Anglophone use and periodic revivals in fashion and pop culture. Variants and related forms include stylistic spellings GiGi or Geegee, with cognate long forms such as Georgina, Virginia, Giovanna, Gianna, Giorgia, and, for men, Luigi and Gianluigi.
