Gigthi was a town in the late Roman province of Tripolitana, which became a residential episcopal see. It corresponded to present-day Djorf-Bou-Ghara.[1]

Gighthi is now a titular see of the Catholic Church. The Latin adjective referring to it is Gigthensis.[1]

The first titular bishop of the see was appointed on 23 March 1966.[2]
