CAGECI | CAGEGGI | CAGEGI | CAGGECI | CAGGEGGI | CAGGEGI | GAGGEGGI | GAGGEGI

All these surnames are absolutely rare, certainly Sicilian, they should derive from nicknames originated from the Arabic word haggag (pilgrim, who goes around the world), but it is also possible a connection with the dialectal word gagghiu (with marbled color, dappled) .
