[Surname] what does Gullis mean
can anybody tell me what and where does the word Gullis comes from?

Gullible maybe? sounds like.. Gull... something related to the mouth or nearby inner zone. search some latin or greek I would say.
Now that I see it under the light of his words... I disagree with my previous posting... That is, I disagree with myself.
I disagree with "gullible" ...more likely it's a variant of Gillis or Gillies or a number of names that come from the Gaelic 'Giolla' which means "servant of ..." and in the case where there is an 'is' following it, means 'Íosa' which is a derivative of the Greek name for Jesus ...hence ..."servant of Jesus"
