Gaweł

Gaweł
Gaweł m
Polish: from the old Roman family name Gallus, originally a byname meaning ‘cock’ but later taken to be an ethnic name meaning ‘Gaul’. In the Christian period it was borne by an uncle (c.489–c.554) of Gregory of Tours, and by a 7th-century Irish saint and missionary to central Europe. The latter founded a monastery to the south of Lake Constance, which later became known as St Gall and gave its name to a Swiss town and canton. His name probably represents a Latinization of an Irish name derived from gall stranger. The form of the Polish given name has been altered by association with Pawel (from Latin Paulus; see PAUL (SEE Paul)).
Cognate: Czech: Havel.
