The gift of gab is supposed to be the gift of speaking well and eloquently, which is bestowed by kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland.
Gab is an old English word referring to the mouth. It is also where we get the word 'gape' referring to a mouthlike opening (a gaping yawn) and the word 'gap'.
In reference to the mouth, therefore, gab came to mean talk, chatter, akin to how other expressions for talking refer to the speaking orifice (e.g. 'mouthing off', 'running at the mouth', or 'he's got a mouth on him').
It is this definition of gab, as talking, specifically loose conversational chatter, that we get 'the gift of gab' which means having the gift of being able to speak easily and freely.
