Gari is a unisex given name of ancient origin, derived from the Basque language. It is composed of two elements: 'gar' meaning 'spear' and 'i', a diminutive suffix. Therefore, Gari can be interpreted as 'little spear'. This name was once more common among Basques but has since gained global recognition due to its unique sound and meaning.
The name Gari experienced a peak in popularity during the early to mid-1960s with 13 births recorded in 1963 and 7 births each in 1964 and 1965. However, it has generally been quite uncommon throughout the entire period covered by these statistics (1938 to 1993), with fewer than 10 births per year on most occasions.
