Gallas
Origin:Swiss
Meaning:Gaul; Rooster; Stranger, foreigner
Gallas is a masculine name with a variety of origins and meanings that can speak to your bundle of joy. With its Romansh, Swiss German, Polish, and Italian roots, it ultimately comes from the Roman Gallus, meaning “rooster” or referring to someone from the ancient region of Gaul. Roosters are rich with symbolism, representing anything from fertility and dawn to courage and mythical power. When your little one joins your family, they may be a bold explorer, a morning person, or just someone who makes sure their voice is always heard. This makes the rooster a great spirit animal for them. For an extra touch of mystery, Gallas can also come from the Celtic word gall, meaning “foreigner” or “stranger.” When baby goes to their first day of school or first playdate, their classmates can go from strangers to potentially new friends.
