‘Bouchra Gygax,’, what the h-ll kind of name is that? It sounds like a character in Star Trek. We are now getting dreamers from places that one can’t even figure out where they are from.

Gary Gygax invented Dungeons and Dragons. This is the only other person I’ve heard of with that name. According to wiki his father was from Switzerland.

Bouchra means “good news” in Arabic.

Gygax seems to be rooted in Switzerland. Fwiw, the guy who started Dungeons and Dragons, Gary Gygax , was of Swiss ancestry.

One website listed Switzerland with 75% of all people with the name Gygax, followed with the USA with 15%. Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium and Guatemala, with approximately 3 %.

Numbers exceed 100%, but what the heck.
