The distinguished German surname Gall is derived from the Celtic word "Gallus," meaning "foreigner, stranger." During the Middle Ages, the name was popular throughout Europe in various forms due to the fame of St. Gall, a 7th century Irish monk. "Gall" was initially bestowed as a personal name in Germany, and was likely transformed into a surname during the late 11th century.
