Digging into words, and geeking out on language

Corgi’s are so popular now. If you walk around Paris you can see so many of them. But, where did the name come from. The origin of the word corgi is not quite black and white. Some believe it’s a blend of two old Welsh words: cor, meaning “dwarf,” and ci (which later evolved into gi), meaning “dog.” Or, it could also come from the Welsh word curgi, which means “to watch over.”

Whichever one it is, they’re absolutely adorable!
