Gilchrist (surname)
Gilchrist is a surname of Gaelic language origins. In many cases it is derived from a Scottish Gaelic name, ''Gille Chrìost'', ''Gille Chriosd'', meaning "servant of Christ" (i.e. ''gilla'' "servant", ''chriosd'' "Christ"). Surnames of similar origins include MacGilchrist and McGilchrist, which are usually derived from ''Mac Giolla Chriosd'' or, literally, "son of the servant of Christ". Early, semi-anglicised versions of the surname, recorded include Geilchreist, Gilchryst, Gillchreist, Gillcryst, Mcillchreist and Mylchrest. In many, perhaps most, cases, people with these surnames are descendants of the Scottish Clan Gilchrist, a sept of Clan MacLachlan.
