“Joge” is one of Kim Kardashian’s nicknames, but unlike “Keeks,” it’s not self-explanatory. Turns out, it’s something that Kim’s father, the late Robert Kardashian Sr., used as a term of endearment. “My dad called me that, we have no clue why,” Kim answered a fan question on Twitter in 2011. However, we can infer that because Robert was an Armenian-American, it has a significant meaning in his native tongue. According to the Mirror, “Joge” is Armenian for “imagine,” and it can also mean “yoga” or “hermit” in other languages. Perhaps Robert used “Joge” to encourage Kim to imagine the possibilities in her own life and to dream big?
Of all Kim’s sisters, Khloé Kardashian calls her “Joge” the most often. “Hey Joge,” she greeted Kim during a 2022 episode of “The Kardashians.” Kim didn’t even blink at the name, so clearly, she’s used to it and it’s been around a long time. “My dad and my sister Khloé called me ‘Joge.’ Now, Khloé still calls me that. My little sisters call me Kimmy,” the SKIMS founder told Seventeen in 2010.

Khloé has always been vocal about the importance of family, and names are a great way to keep someone’s memory alive. In addition to honoring Robert via “Joge,” she also paid tribute to her family with her daughter True [Thompson’s] name. “It was my great-grandfather’s first name and my grandfather’s middle name,” Khloé explained (via Harper’s Bazaar).
