David Grayless#Gibson is a Scottish #surname. It can be a #sept of #ClanCampbell, #ClanBuchanan or #ClanMacMillan. In Ireland, Gibson may be an anglicized form of the #IrishGaelic Ó Gibealláin. It may also be derived from the popular medieval name Gilbert (itself derived from Giselbert or Gillebert), introduced to England and Ireland by the #Normans and often shortened to "Gib". In this case the surname Gibson would mean "son of Gib".
