The name "guy" has its origins in Guy Fawkes, a 17th-century participant in the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot in England. The term was initially used to describe grotesquely dressed effigies of Guy Fawkes that were burned on bonfires during the anniversary of the plot. Over time, the word "guy" evolved and expanded in meaning, becoming synonymous with "a person of grotesque appearance, especially with reference to dress". The name Guy is derived from the Norman French word "Gui," which is a form of the Italian name "Guido". Guy Fawkes himself was known as Guido Fawkes at the time. As the term "guy" continued to evolve, it came to refer to working-class men and eventually included all human males, from baby boys to ancient men. Today, the word "guy" is often used in a casual and informal context to address a group of people, regardless of gender.
