Etymology 1
Coined by semantic widening from the name of Guy Fawkes (1570–1606), an English Catholic executed for his role in the Gunpowder Plot, from Old FrenchGui, a form of Proto-Germanic*Wido, a short form of names beginning with the element witu "wood" from Proto-Germanic*widuz, such as Witold and Widukind. Cognate with ItalianGuido.
Noun
guy (pluralguys)
(British) An effigy of a man burned on a bonfire on the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot (5th November).
(dated) A person of eccentric appearance or dress; a "fright".
(colloquial) A man or boy, fellow.
Synonyms:dude, fella, homey, bro, bloke, chap; see also Thesaurus:man
(especially in the plural) A person (see usage notes).
(colloquial, usually referring to animals) Character, personality (not referring to an actual person, but assigning personality to the referent)

Usage notes
In plural, guys may not be completely gender-neutral, but it may refer to people of any gender in some circumstances and forms; the greeting “Hey guys”, or any vocative utterance, can generally refer to people of any gender. Referring to a group as “guys” often means a group of men or a mixed-gender group, though usage among American youth may even refer to groups of only women.
When used of animals, guy usually refers to either a male or one whose gender is not known; it is rarely if ever used of an animal that is known to be female. The matching term for a female is gal.
In some varieties of US and Canadian English, you guys revives the distinction between a singular and plural you, much like y'all or yous in other varieties; in this sense, guys may be used for groups of any combination of genders. Cf. usage notes at you guys.
