Gilchrist is a unique and historic first name, of Scottish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic 'Gille Chrìost', which translates to 'servant of Christ'. This name was particularly popular in Scotland during the Middle Ages and has been associated with several notable figures throughout history. The use of Gilchrist as a given name has declined over time but remains an uncommon yet distinctive choice.
"Gilchrist saw a gap of four years between the first and second recorded births, with a total of 18 babies named Gilchrist born between 1989 and 1994."
