Gilleasbaig

Gilleasbaig is a masculine given name in the Scottish Gaelic language. The traditional form of the name is Gilleasbuig. Another form of the name is Gille Easbaig. The names mean "servant of the bishop", with the second word (Easbaig) deriving from the Latin episcopus (the final syllable and the second vowel suffering elision, the consonants becoming voiced, and the s being metathesised), which also gave rise to English bishop (the initial e and final us suffering elision, initial p becoming voiced, and c being palatalized in Old English).
