Why is a gas bill called a bill?

Why not call it a tom or a george?

Bill of sale.
From the late 1700's.

An itemized account of moneys spent or owed by the customer

@Picklebobble2 Yes, but why particularly bill? Why not tom or george?

@Picklebobble2 Why didn't they call it a norman, if it was something to do with him? Lol :)
