Gor....what exactly does it mean ?

At a guess I think "Gor" relates to the Dark Earth rune and chthonic worship that incorporates human sacrifice.  The mysteries of blooding the soil as a source of fertility.

So, Gor seems to be a Suffix denoting the darker grimmer female  aspects of  the earth  pantheon: Babeester Gor, Maran Gor, Ana Gor. Thus more of a title than a name ?

For me, Gor means Death, specifically Earthen Death.

Which leads me to ask are there any  male Gor's at all ? if not is there an equivalent male category or mythological niche ?

There was a fan cult of Kanak Gor, who followed Kanak, a man who saw the Gor rites and castrated himself, in a state of religious ecstasy, to become closer to the Gors.
