Gill Family History
Gill Genealogy & Family TreeGill is a Scottish name from Yorkshire, England, where the family was granted a seat for their assistance in the Battle of Hastings. It comes from the nickname for Giles, which in turn came from the Greek word "aigidion" meaning "kid" or "goat." The earliest known ancestor--Gamel filius Gille--was recorded in 1185. Roots for the name can also be found in Spain. The family motto is Ab acquila which means "from the eagle."
Other spellings include "Gille," "Gillen," "Gillan," "Gills," "Gilles," "Gyll," and "Gylls." Notable people with the surname include English drummer Pete Gill (The Glitter Band, Saxon, Motorhead), Irish actor Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, the Dark Knight Rises, The Wire), and Scottish actress Karen Gillan (Doctor Who, Selfie, Oculus). The first Gill to come to America was Allexander Gill in Virginia in 1623.
