Meaning and background
The story behind Giggy
Giggy has a well documented canine namesake in Lisa Vanderpump's Pomeranian. Artists Gillie and Marc describe the television dog as an inspiration for the Vanderpump Dog Foundation and explain their sculpture honoring him. Their bronze work shows Giggy in his recognizable purple jacket, reclining on a sofa. That supplies a specific dog, television, and rescue-charity association for the spelling. The artwork account does not establish Giggy's general linguistic origin or a traditional given-name meaning.
