Definition
A Scottish surname meaning 'servant of the bishop.' Most famously associated with jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.
Etymology
From Scottish Gaelic 'Gille Easbaig', literally meaning 'servant of the bishop'. The name combines 'gille' (servant, lad) with 'easbaig' (bishop), reflecting medieval Scottish clan naming traditions.
Kelly Says
The Gillespie surname carries echoes of medieval Scotland's religious hierarchy, where being a 'servant of the bishop' was actually a position of considerable respect and authority. Dizzy Gillespie's musical revolution in bebop jazz gave this ancient name a completely new cultural resonance.
