What Does the Name Gaije Mean?
Gaije is an uncommon given name, and no established etymology for it is known to me. Its spelling follows Dutch conventions: the digraph ij and the final -e are typical of Dutch writing, and the ending -je is the ordinary Dutch diminutive suffix, which also appears in Frisian names. That would point to a diminutive or familiar form of a shorter name, but the base name cannot be identified with confidence, and the name's language of origin - Dutch, Frisian, or something else - is unconfirmed. The literal meaning is therefore uncertain.
