JILL  

Gender: F
Origin: Diminutive of GILLIAN or JULIANA
Meaning: "youthful"

Probably due to its nursery rhyme association, Jill has the perpetual air of a rosy-cheeked tot -- even though its roots go back to the Middle Ages. Odds are against Jill making it back up the hill.

Jillianne, Jillane, Jil, Jyl, Jilly, Jilleen, Jillayne, Jillene, Jillian, Jyll, Jillie, Jillyan, Jilli
