Etymology: [ 'goi ] (noun.) 1841. From Yiddish גוי (goy, “gentile”) Hebrew גּוֹי (goi, “nation”). Cf. Exodus 19:6: ממלכת קהנים וגוי קדוש (mamlekhet kohanim v'goy kadosh) "... a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (referring to the Jewish people). The word "goy" technically refers not to non-Jews, but rather to a nation per se; the Jews are said to constitute a "goy". But through common usage - namely referring to "the nations" - the word came to colloquially refer to non-Jews.
A non-Jew, a Gentile, a non Jew; a Gentile, in this sense `Gentile' denotes a Christian as contrasted with a Jew; `goy' is a derogatory word for Christians used by Jews, gentile, non-Jewish person,
