'''Gige''' ({{langx|hr|Gigovec}}) is a village in Somogy County, Hungary.
==Etymology== The older name of the village was ''Gége'' ({{langx|hu|larynx}}). But according to the scientific explanation its first owner was called ''Gége''. That could be a shorter form of Gergely or a nickname referring to his larynx.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html |title=Lajos Király : Somogyi helységnevek népi és ... |access-date=2018-05-27 |archive-date=2018-05-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180528052439/http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
