What is the meaning of the name Gogo ?

The baby name Gogo is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GOH-goh (IPA: /ˈɡoʊ.ɡoʊ/).

Gogo is Basque, Romanian, Xhosa, Zulu in Origin.

Gogo is a cross-cultural diminutive and nickname-turned-given name with several roots. In Bulgaria it is a common pet form of Georgi (Гого); in Greek, Γωγώ is a familiar short form of Georgia; in the Caucasus, related forms include Goga and Gogi from Giorgi (George). In Georgian, gogo literally means “girl,” which sometimes encourages its use as a standalone name. All of these George/Georgia‑based forms trace back to Greek georgos, “farmer, earth‑worker.” Related variants include Goga, Gogi, and Romanian Gogu.

In Southern African Nguni languages (Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele), gogo means “grandmother” and functions as an honorific for elder women and healers; this respectful sense also shapes contemporary nickname use. The name appears across Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, and diaspora communities, skewing unisex and lively. Cultural echoes of 1960s “go‑go” style add an energetic, playful tone in English, though etymologically separate.
