Medieval Latin *Widō Old French Guibor. English Guy From Old French Gui, from a Frankish form of Proto-West Germanic *Widō (compare Old Dutch Wido), a short form of names beginning with the element *widu (“wood”), from Proto-Germanic *widuz; see for example modern German Witold and Old Saxon Widukind. Cognate with Italian Guido and thus a doublet of Guido. More at wood. Pronunciation: /ɡaɪ/ 1. A male given name from the Germanic languages. Example: I am not Samson, nor Sir Guy, nor Colbrand, To mow 'em down before me; Example: "Guy," he said. He said it slowly and with a certain puzzlement. He said it again, thoughtfully, as if it were a name of someone he had known long ago but couldn't quite place. "Guy. Yes - don't you find it difficult being called that? I mean, if Nora hadn't said, I'd have put you down as a Kevin, or a Barry. Yes, Barry would suit you." He looked like an innocent child, smiling, wide-eyed, his cheeks plump and rosy, defying the object of his insults to take offence. For they were insults, Guy was in no doubt about that. Leonora's brother was implying that his name was far too upper-class for its possessor. 2. A surname originating as a patronymic. Example: Derek Guy was a relatively unknown menswear writer with 25,000 followers on Twitter in 2022.
