History
From any of various places named Gore, from gore (“a triangular piece of land where roads meet”).
From Middle English gore, gor, gorre (“mud, muck”), from Old English gor (“manure, dung, filth, muck, dirt”), from Proto-West Germanic *gor, from Proto-Germanic *gurą (“half-digested stomach contents; faeces; manure”), from Proto-Indo-European *gwher- (“hot; warm”). Cognate to Old Norse gorr, gor (“intestines, (half-digested) intestinal contents, filth, dung; peat, silt earth”).
From Middle English gore (“patch (of land, fabric), clothes”), from Old English gāra, from Proto-West Germanic *gaiʀō, from Proto-Germanic *gaizô.
From Middle English goren, from gore (“gore”), ultimately from Old English gār (“spear”), from Proto-West Germanic *gaiʀ, from Proto-Germanic *gaizaz, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵhoysós. Related to gar and gore (“a projecting point”).
