Ghia  -  Italian word of unknown origin meaning earth or land or pebbles esp. a pebbly river bed.

             

Female 

             

Peaceful ruler

  Associated with Carrozzeria Ghia, an Italian coach building and design firm founded by Giacinto Ghia in 1915 which has become synonymous with high quality. 

  Ford Motor Company acquired Ghia in 1970 and used its nameplate on some of its models to indicate they had top of the range luxury trim levels. 

   Some people from Liverpool, home to one of Ford's factories, might have smiled at the name, since the word  'gear' was often used to describe something good, as in " that's gear that ".

  It's disappointing to note that Tony Crowley, author of The Liverpool English Dictionary does't mention this meaning, nor does he mention the famous relationship with the Italian design firm, but instead gives other examples of the use of gear being used to denote clothes, goods, especially stolen ones, and drugs.
