Meaning and background
The story behind Gale
Gale has two documented personal-name routes as well as its visible weather association. One is a variant of Gail, while another comes from a surname associated with a Middle English word for joviality. The reference notes that both coincide with the English storm word. An owner can therefore choose a wind image without claiming it is the origin of every Gale. Its single-syllable call sounds like Gail, so the spelling is especially useful when you want the weather connection to be apparent.
