What is the meaning of the name Gomez ?

The baby name Gomez is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: [ˈɡomes] (GO-mes, stress on first syllable); English: /ˈɡoʊmɛz/ or /ˈɡoʊməz/ (GO-mez).

Gomez is Spanish in Origin.

A Spanish patronymic turned given name, Gómez (Anglicized Gomez) comes from medieval Gome, a Visigothic/Old Germanic personal name deriving from guma “man, person.” The literal sense is “son of Gome,” so by extension “descendant of the manly one” or simply “man.” The Portuguese cognate is Gomes.

In the kingdoms of León and Castile, Gómez functioned as a masculine forename in the Middle Ages - borne by nobles and writers such as Gómez Manrique - before settling chiefly as a hereditary surname across Iberia and, later, Latin America. Today it ranks among the most common Hispanic surnames worldwide, and in the United States as well. As a modern given name it is rare but culturally familiar through Gomez Addams of The Addams Family. Variants and spellings include Gómez (standard Spanish), Gomez (English/without accent), and Gomes (Portuguese); the archaic stem Gome appears in medieval records.
