[Facts] Re: What is the meaning or background of this name?
in reply to a message by Jilly
Hi Ryan ,
I'd say it's a variant of the English "Jill " or "Gillian ". You can check Mike 's meaning for Gillian by clicking on the blue-printed name.
Another site also says Jilly is English and a variant of Gillian , but gives the meaning as "Jove's [Roman god Jupiter ] child".
"Jilly Coppercorn" is the principal character in several urban fantasy novels and stories by the Canadian writer Charles De Lint.
Hope that helps.
- Da.
