Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenské meno Gejza vzniklo z maďarského mena Géza, doloženého v starších podobách Gyeücsa, Geysa či Geicha. Za najpravdepodobnejší sa pokladá jeho súvis so staromaďarským titulom gyevü alebo gyeü, prevzatým z turkického titulu jabgu, ku ktorému bola pripojená maďarská zdrobňovacia prípona.
