Name Meaning

English: from Middle English gor(e), gar(e) ‘triangular piece of land’ (Old English gāra, a derivative of gār ‘spear’, with reference to the triangular shape of a spearhead), a topographic name for someone living by a triangular field, or a habitational name from any of various places, for example Gore Court in Tunstall (Kent) and Gore Farm in Hannington (Wiltshire), named from this word.

French: from Old French gore ‘sow’ (a word of allegedly imitative origin, reflecting the grunting of the animal), applied as a metonymic occupational name for a swineherd or as an unflattering nickname.

French: probably also from a pet form of a vernacular form of the personal name Grégoire (see Gregory ).
