Gilno is an exceedingly rare masculine name with uncertain etymology. It may be a variant of Gil (which itself can be short for Gilbert, Gilberto, or Gillian) with a unique suffix, or possibly a constructed name with roots in multiple cultures. The name Gil typically derives from the Old Norse 'gisli' meaning 'pledge' or from the Latin 'aegidius' meaning 'shield-bearer.'
