Garci

Garci is a surname and, less commonly, a given name. It is a variant spelling of García, a very common Spanish surname. The Garci form likely arose through ordinary spelling variation, transcription changes, or truncation of García, in which the final “a” is dropped in certain contexts or languages. As a result, Garci appears in records and contemporary usage among families of Spanish origin and in communities with Hispanic heritage. The surname has spread globally through migration, with occurrences in Spain, Latin America, and diaspora communities around the world.

In onomastic references, Garci is treated as a less common variant of García. Notable individuals bearing Garci tend to appear in local or regional contexts across fields such as arts, sports, business, and public life; however, the form Garci does not have the same level of global recognition as García.
