Possibly from giuli (not related to iūlius (“July”)), alternative form of geola ("December/January") + -ling (diminutive suffix), the connection being that December is the month of the winter solstice, July of the summer (i.e. little) solstice. geola may also be etymologically connected with the solstice—see further there.
