Etymology and Meaning
Origin
Paul was originally a common Roman cognomen (family name) used by the gens Aemilia. It is believed to have been derived from the Etruscan name Aulus, which also meant "humble."
In the New Testament, the apostle Paul was originally named Saul, but after his conversion to Christianity, he adopted the Roman name Paul. This was likely done to facilitate his mission to the Gentiles, as it was a more familiar and acceptable name.
