They never say his first name on the show. The Creator/producer Sherwood Schwartz said he intended for the character's name to be Willy.
Willy Gilligan
Gilligan's full name has been a subject of debate among fans of the series for decades, which was finally resolved by the release of Gilligan's Island — The Complete First Season on DVD in 2004. In a documentary called Before the Three Hour Tour, excerpts from Sherwood Schwartz's original treatment for the series reveal that Gilligan's full name was "Willy Gilligan", a name that Bob Denver had sometimes given during talk show interviews. The documentary also reveals that Schwartz found the name "Gilligan" by opening the phone book to a random page.
