This may come as a surprise to you, but one of our most frequently asked questions is how to pronounce the name of our store. So, I thought we ought to dedicate an entire post to how to pronounce Gygi.
Though most of you know us as Gygi’s, the full name of our company is the Orson H. Gygi Company. We also get called Orson Gygi’s.
So, how do you pronounce Gygi?
It goes like this: GEE-GEE (The “G” on both “GEE”s makes the hard “G” sound like in garlic and gravy).
The most common mistake people make is that they say the letter “G” twice (like “JEE-JEE”). No “J” sound is made.
A helpful hint: We are a kitchen store, so think of kitchen supplies that start with the letter “G” like: glass, grinder, grill, and grater. That’s the same “G” sound in Gygi.
Now that you know how to pronounce it… go for it! Say it: Orson Gygi
Then say it again!
Now that you have it… Congratulations! You can now pronounce Gygi!
