Actually,  Gyro  is  a  generic  name  for lamb or beef slow-cooked on a
rotating  spindle.   Hence  the  name  "Gyro"  (consider   "gyroscope").
"Souvlaki"  can  be  best  described as Greek shiskebob, and always with
lamb.  A "Souvlaki sandwich" is a Souvlaki removed from the  skewer  and
stuffed in pita with salad.
