Gatis

__NOTOC__ Gatis is a Latvian masculine given name borne by over 5,000 men in Latvia. The etymology of the name is disputed. One suggestion is that it may be related to the Latvian word gatavs ("ready", "mature"). Another suggestion is that it is possibly related to an old Latvian word "gātis" meaning gates or river source. A further suggestion is that the name is derived from the German name Gotthard. Its name-day is celebrated on 8 January. The name is one of the relatively few surviving names of indigenous origin from among the great number that were revived or introduced during the Latvian National Awakening of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
