MEANING & HISTORY
What does Gani mean?
The exact Gani entry identifies it as a short form of Isagani. Isagani is a character in José Rizal’s El filibusterismo, and its proposed connection with a bountiful harvest is qualified rather than certain.
A shortened name does not literally contain every syllable of the proposed longer expression. The documented shortening is the strongest explanation here.
