What is the meaning of the name Gor ?

The baby name Gor is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /ɡɔr/ (approx. "gore").

Gor is Armenian in Origin.

Gor is a masculine Armenian given name (Գոռ). Many Armenian speakers connect it with the native adjective gor, “loud, mighty; proud,” and the verb goral, “to cry out/roar,” giving the name connotations of strength, boldness, and a powerful voice. In parallel, it also functions as a clipped form of Grigor (from Greek Gregorios), carrying the meaning “watchful, vigilant.” Because of these dual pathways, Gor can be read either as distinctly Armenian in sense, or as sharing the venerable Gregory tradition.

Usage is widespread in modern Armenia and among the diaspora, where short, native-sounding names rose in popularity in the late 20th century. The standard Armenian diminutive is Gorik (Գոռիկ); Goro appears occasionally as a pet form. Outside Armenian contexts, Gor may occur informally as a nickname for Igor or Yegor in Slavic languages, but as an independent given name it remains most strongly associated with Armenian heritage.
