Meaning & Origin

Ciji is a girl's baby name, a creative phonetic spelling of Gigi, a French diminutive used for names beginning with G — most commonly Georgette or Giselle. Gigi means roughly 'earth-worker' (from George) or 'pledge' (from Giselle).

Ciji gives the French Gigi an entirely different visual form while keeping the same playful, double-syllable sound. It was used in the United States primarily in the late 20th century, when phonetically spelled names with distinctive visual identities were fashionable for girls.
