Gige (Croatian: Gigovec) is a village in Somogy County, Hungary.
The older name of the village was Gége (Hungarian: [[larynx]]). But according to the scientific explanation its first owner was called Gége. That could be a shorter form of Gergely or a nickname referring to his larynx.[2]
According to László Szita the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.[3]
