Gilligans

Gilligans is a surname used in English to refer collectively to people who bear the family name Gilligan. In written and genealogical contexts, the plural form can appear when discussing multiple individuals from the same family or lineage. It is not a separate proper noun for a specific place, organization, or widely recognized fictional work.

In reference works and indexing, Gilligans may occur as a grammatical plural or as a signal that a discussion concerns more than one person with the surname. When editors or databases organize information on individuals, they typically treat Gilligan as the primary surname and use the plural form only in contexts that require referring to several bearers of the name. The term by itself does not imply a distinct topic beyond the aggregation of people sharing the surname.

For broader context, the surname Gilligan is more commonly encountered in its singular form, Gilligan, which has been associated with various individuals and fictional characters. The name is of Irish origin and appears in genealogical records, biographical listings, and historical summaries as Gilligan rather than Gillians, Gilligans, or other variants.
