Gail

Gail is a masculine and feminine given name. As a feminine name, it can be a short form of the Biblical name Abigail. Gail has been used as a masculine and feminine name, and until the 1930s, was equally rare on either sex. Between the 1930s and 1960s its use as a feminine name increased, as a consequence marginalizing masculine usage by about 1960. Alternate spellings include Gaile, Gale, and Gayle.
