Meaning and background
The story behind Gogo
Gogo can represent more than one naming tradition. One documented example is Greek Γωγώ, an affectionate female form associated with Georgia. The Greek-language dictionary entry records this relationship but explicitly notes that its etymological documentation needs expanding. Nothing in that evidence proves every Latin-letter Gogo has a Greek origin. The repeating two syllables may be appealing for recall, but the cultural derivation needs caution.
- Origin
- One documented use is Greek Γωγώ, an affectionate form of the female name Georgia; this does not establish the origin of every spelling Gogo. Source
