The English name Gaul came through French Gaule, from a Frankish idea of “the land of the foreigners / Romans,” used to stand for the Latin name Gallia.

The English name Gaul came through French Gaule英文的 Gaul 這個名字是經由法文 Gaule 傳來的，from a Frankish idea of "the land of the foreigners / Romans,"源自法蘭克人「外地人／羅馬人的土地」這個概念，used to stand for the Latin name Gallia用來代表拉丁文的 Gallia 這個名字。The word for the people, a Gaul指人的那個字，a Gaul，comes from Latin Gallus則是來自拉丁文的 Gallus。Those two paths are probably not the same family這兩條字源的路徑很可能不是同一個家族，even though they meet in English as one place and its people儘管它們在英文裡剛好合而為一，變成同一個地方和它的人民。
