GIOLLA. Irish
name meaning "a servant or disciple." Not used alone, but in combination
with other names as, Brian Mac Giolla Phádraig (d. 1652), who was an
Irish scholar and poet of noble descent.
Giolla
is the very same word as the Scottish vernacular gillie, a
servant; and in Ireland, the giolla eachaid, or horse servant,
resulted in the term gallowglass, which is so constantly used in English
narratives of Irish wars. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884).
Giolla,
Latinized "Gulielmus," and Anglicised "William,"
signifies a servant or disciple; as Giolla-Josa (Anglicised
"Giles" and Latinized "Gelasius,") the servant of
Jesus; Giolla Chriosd (Anglicised "Gilchreest,") the
servant of Christ; Giolla Muire, the servant of Mary; Giolla Paidraig,
the servant of St. Patrick, etc. (Irish Pedigrees: The Origin and
Stem of the Irish Nation, O'Hart, v.1, 1876).
