Gillour Origin and Meaning

The name Gillour is a boy's name.

Gillour is an uncommon masculine name with likely Scottish or French origins. It may be a variant of Gilmour/Gilmore, which derives from the Gaelic 'gille mòr' meaning 'great servant' or 'devoted follower.' Alternatively, it could relate to Guillaume, the French form of William. The distinctive spelling gives Gillour a refined, somewhat aristocratic quality. This extremely rare name has never appeared in mainstream popularity charts, making it a truly unique choice. Gillour carries a sense of heritage and distinction, possibly appealing to families with Scottish or French ancestry seeking an uncommon name with historical resonance. The name's obscurity makes it ideal for parents wanting their son to have a name that stands out while still having legitimate etymological roots.
