Just an observation here but from my recollection, according to official canon, the nation of Gilneas (both in controlled land and name) did not exist at the time of the 100 selection process.

As Strom and the Empire of Arathor were formed prior to the selection of the 100. This would make every single member of the 100 Arathorian.

The formation of the city-states including Dalaran, Lordaeron, Gilneas, Alterac, Kul Tiras and Azeroth (Early Stormwind) occurred after the Troll Wars with Dalaran being the first to form, followed by Gilneas, Alterac and Kul Tiras. Lordaeron was followed shortly afterward, with Azeroth being the last city-state to emerge from the splintering of that empire.

Now it could be reasoned that the 100 were selected from various tribes that had united to form Arathor and that their ancestral lands were where Gilneas currently stands, but even if that is accepted, they would still not have been referred to as Gilnean.
