Gil
For those of you interested , as I am , in our family name origins. I have discovered that Gil is indeed a name from Spain and Portugal. It is a Sephardic family name, which means that it is a Jewish last name. Our ancestors were most likely forced to convert to Christianity during the Spanish Inquisition (which lasted 300 years).
The government of Spain has published an official list of Sephardic last names ( Gil is on the list). Along with an apology. So there, we're Jewish . How about that.
