GILCHRIST Family History
Recorded in the spellings of Gilchrist, Gilcriest, Gillcrist and Gilcryst, this is an ancient Scottish clan surname. It derives from the pre 10th century Gaelic 'Gille Criosd'. This translates as a friend or servant of Christ, but more logically it described an early follower of Christ, and hence a Christian. It is very arguable as to when the name was first recorded, not the least because in its earliest days the now surname was a personal or first name. Early examples include Gillecrist mac Finguni (as spelt), who appears in the 'Book of Deer' being a witness to land grants in 1127, whilst Gillecrist Bretnach or Gillchrist, the Welshman, was a charter witness at Carrick, in the year 1200...Select Audience
