Very mysterious... I found this reference: GA, in Gothic, is a prefix, answering to ge in Saxon and other Teutonic languages. It sometimes has the force of the Latin cum or con, as in gawithan, to conjoin. But in most words it appears to have no use,and in modern English it is entirely lost. Y-cleped, in which ge is changed into y, is the last word in which the English retained this prefix.
Then, I did find a reference that it was first defined in the 1800's. So, when used as a prefix, it is gothic, not latin or greek.
