Goga Family History
Goga Name Meaning
Slovak: probably a nickname from the same root as Gogol . Czech: presumably a nickname from Middle High German gogel ‘lively boisterous frolicsome’. Alternatively it may be of Slovak origin (see above). Albanian: ethnic name or nickname from the archaic/informal term gogë (definite form goga) ‘Vlach Aromanian foreigner’ (see Vlachos ) figuratively also ‘boorish crude’. Romanian and Albanian: from a vernacular short form of the personal name Romanian Gheorghe Albanian Jorgo (see George ). In some cases possibly also an American shortened (or Greek feminine) form of Greek Gogas: of Albanian origin (see 3 above).
