Across the world, Гилсон (Gilson 
, Гилсон 
) is a widespread masculine first name. The forename Гилсон is characteristic of Cabo Verde, where it is a common boy's name, Brazil, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Angola, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Brazil, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Much less frequently, Гилсон is the last name as well as the forename.
