V.G.G. is an administrative courtesy formula. It expands to Von Gottes Gnaden, meaning: “By the grace of God.” In plain layman’s language, it signals that the order is issued under the sovereign authority of the ruler, whose legitimacy is understood to come “by God’s grace.” It has no practical effect on the decision itself; it’s a formal header indicating princely authority. |
