In summary

Uncertain. Suggested derivations include: * Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌹𐍄𐍃 (gaits, “goat”), from Proto-Germanic *gaits, with semantic shift due to bagpipes being made of goat skin; * Ottoman Turkish (Turkish gayda), from Bulgarian гайда (gajda), possibly via Arabic غَيْطَة (ḡayṭa); * Old Galician-Portuguese guaita, from Proto-Germanic *wahta; * from the same root as Spanish gayo; * Hausa algaita, via a Berber language; * Suevic.
