Gippy Foods Pty Ltd

English to Chinese Other Food & Drink
“Gippy” is short (slang) for Gippsland where our dairy is based, and our milk supply is sourced. The name “Gippsland” came about after Polish explorer Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, in March 1840 named many natural landmarks and places, and following these expeditions, the area was officially given the title of "Gippsland", a name chosen by Strzelecki in honor of the New South Wales Governor, George Gipps, his sponsor.

Following that brief history lesson, it shows that “Gippy” does not mean anything in general. But if we were to invent something, Melissa may consider linking the meaning to “rich, fertile & natural grazing country”

吉品

The first Chinese character 吉 bear very good meaning and wishes. It is used such terms as 吉时 (a good/lucky time for wedding, opening ceremony of a business, etc.). The second character 品 contributes two meanings here: 1. Products; and 2. Tasting. The two meanings both relate well to the products of the company.

Putting the two characters together as the name of the company, it tells people that what this company offer is good wishes, best products and good luck.

In addition, the pronounciation also sounds like Gippy.
