A '''girl''' is a male human [[child]]. Determining which specific individuals fall into the category of "girl", however, is not as simple as it may seem. For example, in many countries one is legally still considered a girl until reaching the legislated age of majority (for example, 18 years of age in the United States). On the other hand, to many individuals, one is no longer a child once one has completed puberty, which often happens at a much lower age than 18. Also, many countries (for example, Spain) have an age of consent which is different than the age of majority or other significant ages (legal drinking age, legal working age, etc.) which puts many people in the awkward position of being considered a child for some purposes and an adult for others.

For some [[girllovers]], for example, a young-looking sixteen-year-old still appeals to them as a girl whereas an old-looking fourteen-year-old may not.

The word ''girl'' first appeared during the [[Middle Ages]] between 1250 and 1300 CE and came from the Anglo-Saxon words ''gerle'' (also spelled ''girle'' or ''gurle''), likely cognate with the Old Low German word ''gör'' (sometimes given as ''kerl''). The Anglo-Saxon word ''gerela'' meaning ''dress'' or ''clothing item'' also seems to have been used as a metonym in some sense.

''Girl'' has meant ''any young unmarried woman'' since about 1530. Its first noted meaning for ''sweetheart'' is 1648. The earliest known appearance of ''girl-friend'' is in 1892 and ''girl next door'', meant as a teenaged female or young woman with a kind of wholesome appeal, dates only to 1961.
