This apparently strange Shakespearean word is simply the word 'Give'.
For example: "God gi' ye godd'en" means "God give you good evening" or, in modern words, "Good evening".
In Romeo and Juliet (Act 1 Scene 2) when the servant says "God gi' god-den" he means "God give you a good-evening".
[Gi' is also short for gin, an Anglic dialect preposition meaning before ( in time) and adverb meaning when, or at the time that. Cf Robert Burns's "Gin a body meet a body comin thro' the rye..."] <--- but that's not from shakespeare. just sort of an interesting tangentially relevant fact

What do the following of Shakespeare's shortened words mean Gi' I' E'en?
=== === In Romeo & Juliet, there's a few instances of variations of the phrase, "God gi' ye good'en". That means "God give you a good evening", which eventually, in our time, just became "Good evening." Pronunciation of i': Pronounce it "ih". NOT "eye". Pronunciation of gi': Pronounce it "gih". Pronunciation of e'en: "EEE-enn" or "een" are both fine. hi
