Gillette Origin and Meaning

The name Gillette is a boy's name.

Gillette is a masculine name with French origins, derived from the diminutive form of Gilles (the French form of Giles). The name ultimately stems from the Greek name Aegidius, meaning 'shield bearer.' Historically, Gillette was more common as a surname, famously associated with King C. Gillette, the American businessman who invented the safety razor. As a first name, it has never achieved widespread popularity but maintains an aristocratic, refined quality with its French roots. The name carries a sophisticated air while remaining distinctive and uncommon. Some might associate it with the well-known brand, though the name itself predates the company. Gillette offers a blend of historical depth and stylish sound.
