The surname (Mc)Gillick is a patronymic adopted by a branch of the Burkes of Connacht, and originates from the Irish ''Mag Uilic'', meaning 'son of Ulick'. ''Mag'' is a form of ''Mac'' (son) used in old Irish names before vowels. William is ''Uilliam'' in Gaelic, and 'William the Younger' is ''Uilliam Og''. As time passed, Uilliam Og was contracted to Uilleog, anglicized Ulick, which literally means 'young William', but has also come to mean 'little William'. The name Ulick came into use amongst the Burkes in the 14th century, and was originally peculiar to this family. ==Gillick ancestor== The Gillicks have as their eponymous ancestor, Ulick de Burgo of Umhall (confused by MacFirbis with Ulick de Burgo of Annaghkeen, a contemporary kinsman), and descend through his son, Henry MacUlick. The deaths of both are recorded in the ''Annals of Loch Cé'': 1343: Ulick son of Richard son of William Liath, the greatest of all the foreign (i.e. Anglo-Norman, not native Irish) youths in Ireland in bounty and prowess, ''quievit''. 1359: Henry son of Ulick son of Richard ''mortuus est''. The descendants of this Henry used MacUlick as a surname, but the clan name was MacHenry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gillick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
