A young female pig, or a young sow.
From French 'gilot' or related Romance languages; possibly connected to 'gill' meaning young animal. The term appears in dialectal English, particularly in farming regions.
Most English pig terms come from French (pork, mutton)—this farming word reminds us how the Norman Conquest left French vocabulary in British agriculture while English speakers kept the animal names.
