Gillies

If you are looking for a subtle way to celebrate baby’s heritage or welcome them to your faith, Gillies could make for a lovely fit. This gender-neutral name comes from the Scottish last name McGillis. McGillis is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Giolla Íosa or Irish Mac Gille Íosa, meaning “son of the servant of Jesus.” Whether religion is a core part of your life or you have a special place in your heart for Scotland, Gillies is a great way to give your little one a sense of belonging.
