Splendid, beautiful, or very attractive
Derived from the English adjective, the name ultimately traces back to the Old French word 'gorgias', meaning elegant or fashionable. It is a rare virtue-style name that directly describes the physical or spiritual beauty of the child. While used as a term of endearment for centuries, its use as a formal given name is a modern phenomenon.
