Gypsy Meaning & Origin

About Gypsy
The name "Gypsy" is derived from the term "Romani" or "Romany," which refers to a traditionally nomadic ethnic group originating from India. The name has come to be associated with a free-spirited, bohemian lifestyle due to the historical perception of Romani people as wanderers and fortune-tellers. However, it is important to note that the term "Gypsy" can be considered derogatory and offensive to some individuals, as it perpetuates stereotypes and misconceptions about the Romani culture.
