A young person or child; a term used in Scottish dialect (archaic or rare).
From Scots, possibly related to 'gabby' or other Germanic roots; represents regional diminutive forms used in Scottish speech communities.
Regional Scottish words like 'gebbie' were normally never written down—they lived in speech only—which is why we're losing hundreds of these tiny, specific words as regional speech patterns fade and everything homogenizes toward standard English.
