| Name Meaning: |
A borrowing from the English, Gillian arose in the 16th century as a variant of Julian. Julian is from the old Roman family name Julius, which is thought to be derived from lulus (the first down on the chin, downy-bearded). Since one first growing facial hair is young, the name has taken the definition "youth, youthful." Gillian was originally bestowed upon both males and females. Now, however, it is an exclusively female name |
