well in FF4-6 it was called GP, and that meant Gold Pieces, I dont think "Gil" came til FF7 and the FF4/FF1/FF2 remake on Playstation.

whos' obama?
It's gold. Probably derived from "gilt" or "gilded" (having to do with gold), but shortened to make their own groovie little word.
EDIT: And I just read that other forum, where "Giru" was mentioned. This is probably engrish for "Gilda", the term I was apparently on about (I somehow didn't know the root term), and that dude below me brought up. Or "Giru" could be japanese for "Gold". I don't speak the language.

Yes. It's from gilda, the Old English word for gold. Think of gilded, etc.

I have an answer. I theorize that if you could look closley at the money, you will see the picture of the person Japan loves most, the person they named their money in ff after, Gilford Godfree
This is the best theory because it's right.
But the Gs are pronounced differently. If it were named after anyone, it would be Gilligan.
Gilligan isn't the hottie that lives in my sci-fi themed dreams.
They're fish gills.
there was a picture here
duchovney is obviously hotter.
He's a handsome man, of course, but c'mon.
Gil are little round gold things.
eh?
Maxx wins at the internets.
