'''Gige''' ({{langx|hr|Gigovec}}) is a village in [Somogy County](/source/Somogy_County), [Hungary](/source/Hungary).

==Etymology==
The older name of the village was ''Gége'' ({{langx|hu|[larynx](/source/larynx)}}). But according to the scientific explanation its first owner was called ''Gége''. That could be a shorter form of [Gergely](/source/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>

==History==
According to ''László Szita'' the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.<ref>[https://library.hungaricana.hu/hu/view/SOMM_SomAlm_052/?pg=10&layout=s&query=korpád László Szita : Somogy megyei nemzetiségek településtörténete a XVIII-XIX. században - Somogyi Almanach 52.
