Meaning & History
The first element of this name is a bit uncertain. It might possibly be derived from Greek γύλιος (gylios), the name for a long-shaped pouch or knapsack that Greek soldiers used for carrying their food supplies (see Gylon). The second element is derived from the Greek noun ἵππος (hippos) meaning "horse".
