Gogoi is an Assamese surname, used by many communities of Assam including the Ahoms. The word originates from the Ahom language word 'Gogoi' which means Younger brother.

History

Swargadeo Rudra Singha divided the clans of the Satgharia Ahom ("Ahoms of the seven houses") aristocracy into two main divisions: "Gohain" and "Gogoi" to clarify clear descendancy.[1] Any Non-gohain descendants of the Ahoms of the seven houses will have to use the title Gogoi and any other Ahom outside of the seven houses can't use the title Gogoi.[2] The descendants of three Gohain clans i e. Borgohain, Burhagohain and Bor patra gohain can only use the title Gohain.[3][4]In Ahom Kingdom, two Borphukans with the title of "Gogoi" from the Dihingia[5] and Patar clan, served Swargadeo Gaurinath Singha and Swargadeo Chandrakanta Singha respectively, as one of the "Patra Mantris" (Council of five Ministers).[6][7] This surname was granted by the Ahom King, to those who were very dear to the Ahom royal Family, indicating high officials to the Ahom Kingdom.[citation needed]
