Among the tribes of Gaul, naming a boy often signaled martial prowess and devotion to nature-based spirituality. Influenced by a Celtic dialect older than French, names might reference revered animals, local gods, or heroic feats. Though overshadowed by Roman conquest, vestiges remain in place names and linguistic fragments. By selecting a Gaulish baby boy name, parents can channel historic valor and a deep connection to the land.
