The surname Gillman is of Irish and English origin. In Ireland, the name is derived from the Gaelic Mac Giolla Ghunna, which translates to son of the servant of the gunner. The name likely originated as a nickname for someone who worked as a gunner or had some association with firearms. The name eventually evolved into Gillman as it was anglicized over time.
The Gillman surname can also be found in England, where it is derived from the Old English personal name Gillemann. This name is a compound of the elements gil, meaning pledge or hostage, and mann, meaning man. The name Gillman was also used as a patronymic surname, meaning it indicated son of Gill or Giles.
The Gillman surname has been found in various historical records throughout Ireland and England, and has been associated with notable individuals and families in both countries. The name has also spread to other parts of the world through migration and the global diaspora of Irish and English descendants.
Overall, the history of the Gillman surname is rich and complex, with origins in both Ireland and England, and a long and varied lineage of individuals who have carried the name through the centuries.
