US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: Spear

Gazza is a masculine English name and a shortened version or nickname for Gary. Meaning "spear," Gazza became a household name in the late 20th century thanks to footballer Paul Gascoigne. Gascoigne, or "Gazza" for short, was an England international whose comic personality and prank-playing endeared him to people as much as his skill with the ball. Whether baby is a football fan or not, Gazza is a name that conjures up fond memories for millions of people. Allied with a sharp wit, like Paul, your little one will be the most popular person in every room.
