Ogie is a boy's name of Latin origin, derived from 'Augustus', meaning 'great' or 'venerable'. Over time, Augustus evolved through Augustine, August, Gus, and eventually to Ogie, reflecting language evolution into more casual forms. While not common worldwide, Ogie stands out due to its unique sound and historical roots. It's associated with Filipino musician-comedian Ogie Alcasid but has appeal beyond his fame.
