Giles Name Details

The name Giles is of Greek origin and was derived from the Greek word 'aigidion' which means 'young goat' or 'kid'. In medieval times, the name Giles gained popularity due to Saint Giles, an 8th-century hermit who was known for his acts of kindness and was often invoked against disabilities and the plague. The name has since become popular among English-speaking countries.
