About Giglio
Giglio, an Italian name, originates from the Latin word "Aegidius," meaning "tutelage, protection." This derives from the ancient Greek term "aigís (αἰγῐ́ς)," referring to the goatskin shield carried by Zeus. The name underwent various transformations before being introduced to Britain in the 11th century as "Giles" by the Normans. This namesake, Saint Giles (650-710 AD), was a Greek hermit saint from Athens known for his charity and devotion, leaving a lasting impact on the name's legacy.
