Gay is a French surname with two possible origins. The first is a nickname: "gai", in Old French and Middle English, meant the same thing that it used to in modern English�happy, lighthearted, and full of joy. The second is locational, as there are many places in Normandy named Gaye, which may be named after Germanic residents named Wai or Gai.
