This varies regionally in the U.S. As a northerner, I consider “gravy” to be one very specific sauce, i.e. stock of some type (usually meat or mushroom) thickened with a roux. I know some Southerners who refer to just about any sauce as gravy, as well as some Italian Americans (from all over the U.S.) who refer to tomato sauce as gravy.
