    It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

    Not many names come from Esperanto so that’s interesting. :)

      For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it’s pronounced like “for-jay-yo”.
