Goshi

Goshi is a term that appears in several languages and contexts, rather than a single, unified entry. In onomastics, Goshi can function as a surname or given name in different communities, particularly where local scripts are transliterated into the Latin alphabet. The exact origin and meaning of the name vary by culture and historical lineage, and the spelling Goshi may correspond to different native forms.

As a toponym, Goshi is used for small settlements or administrative divisions in some regions. Place names with this spelling often reflect local linguistic roots and are not known to be related to each other across countries.

In fiction and popular media, Goshi is occasionally used as a character name or fictional location. Such usages are usually independent of real-world naming practices and serve narrative purposes.

Because Goshi can arise from distinct language families and transliteration schemes, the term has multiple potential meanings in different contexts. Disambiguating a reference to Goshi requires attention to geographic region, language of origin, and the relevant field or source.
