OP Gil ìs girl, at least in the days of Grose.
Definition taken from The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, originally by Francis Grose.
. Every jack has his gill; i.e. every jack has his gillian, or female mate.
What makes me laugh in this definition is " figuratively used for woman". What is a gillian??
