as a First Name
From the vocabulary word for a Romany or traveller. The word derives from Egyptian, as in the Middle Ages the Romanies were believed to have come to Europe from Egypt; in fact they dispersed from an original home in north India. This name may sometimes be chosen by parents who hope that their daughter will exhibit a free spirit. The American dancer Gypsy Rose Lee may have been an influence, although in her case the name was a nickname.
