Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z latinského rímskeho cognomina Gallus. Jeho základ sa vykladá buď z latinského apelatíva gallus vo význame „kohút“, alebo z etnonyma Gallus vo význame „Gal, obyvateľ Galie“. V kresťanskej Európe sa meno rozšírilo najmä vďaka úcte k svätému Gallovi, misionárovi zo 6. a 7. storočia, s ktorým sa spájajú počiatky opátstva Sankt Gallen.
