I think a gherkin Is a specific type of cucumber whereas a dill pickle can be any pickled cucumber.

Not 100percent but I think that's it.

A dill pickle is made using dill in the brine, whereas a gherkin is the UK generic name for the small pickled cucumbers.

Dill pickle is the American name for a gherkin, they are one and the same.

Gherkins are the same species as cucumbers but they are a different cultivar.
