The Gillespie name is ancient, its origins dating probably from 5th century Ireland. It is widely thought to be made up of two Gaelic words, "Filid," a druidic bard, and "Asbuig," a bishop. "FilidAsbuig" = Gillespie A Filidasbuig (the f is silent) was effectively a bishop's clerk in early (5th to 12th century) Ireland.

What is the ethnic origin of the name Gillespie?
Gillespie is both an Irish and Scottish surname. The name was anglicized from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Easpuig (Irish) and Mac Gille Easbaig (Scots Gaelic) both meaning son of the servant of the bishop. Due to the fact that it was an occupational title rather than a hereditary surname suggests that it may have had two separate origins. If this is true then the Irish Gillespie's would have no connection with the Scottish Gillespie's.
