Gogi is a Georgian diminutive (hypocoristic) of Giorgi (გიორგი), the local form of George, itself from Greek Georgios “farmer, earth‑worker” (ge “earth” + ergon “work”). In Georgia - where Saint George is the patron and Giorgi has long been the most common male name - Gogi (გოგი) became widely used in everyday address and, since the mid‑20th century, sometimes appears as an independent given name borne by artists, athletes, and politicians.

Variants and related forms include Georgian Giorgi and its nicknames Goga and Gigi; English George; Greek Georgios/Giorgos; Bulgarian Georgi; Russian Georgiy (diminutive Gosha); Romanian Gheorghe; Italian Giorgio; Spanish/Portuguese Jorge; German Jörg. Outside the Caucasus, Gogi also occurs as an affectionate nickname in South Asian families (Punjabi/Urdu-Hindi), occasionally unisex but usually masculine, without a fixed etymology. The core meaning traces back to “tiller of the soil,” giving the name associations with diligence and groundedness.
