Gale

Meaning of Gale

With its crisp, one-syllable ring—GAYL in English, GAH-leh in Italian—Gale feels like a burst of fresh air, perfectly suited for any little one, boy or girl. Rooted in Old English for “storm” or “breeze” (no umbrella required), the name carries a spirited energy as boundless as the wind itself. It also boasts a vintage mid-century charm—parents in Kentucky watched it hover around the 130s in popularity from the 1940s through the ’60s—making Gale a delightful blend of retro cool and modern flair. Whether drawn to its nature-inspired boldness or inspired by icons like Hall-of-Famer Gale Sayers, families will find Gale strikes a perfect balance between strength and grace, ready to sweep their home off its feet.
