[edit] Origins Of 'Gotye' Wally was embarking on a project that was, in his own words, "about refiguring past things (old vinyl sounds) with my own ideas". It therefore seemed appropriate to draw on his past for inspiration for the project's name. Wouter, Gotye's real name, from Flemish translates into French as Gaultier (or Gautier or Gauthier). Wally's mum used to call him Gaultier as a pet name. Drawing on this and choosing his own spelling gives us 'Gotye'.
