Gavrosh

Gavroche is a fictional character in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel 'Les Misérables'. He is a Parisian street urchin, a gamin, who is cheerful and mischievous despite his poverty. The name itself is a French slang term for a street urchin or a mischievous boy. Hugo likely coined or popularized the name based on existing French colloquialisms.

The character of Gavroche has become iconic, representing the spirit of the Parisian poor and the revolutionary fervor of the time. His tragic death during the 1832 June Rebellion is one of the most poignant moments in the novel. The name, therefore, carries strong literary and cultural associations with resilience, youthful rebellion, and a certain street-smart charm.
