Tips

usage

盖奇 is the standard transliteration of the surname 'Gage'. The most-cited bearer in Chinese textbooks is Phineas Gage (菲尼斯·盖奇), the 19th-century railway worker whose iron-rod brain injury reshaped modern neuroscience. 盖 (gài, 'cover') and 奇 (qí, 'rare') are picked for sound, not meaning.
