A proper name (Latin form of Paul), commonly used as a first name, especially in Dutch and other European cultures.
From Latin 'Paulus,' meaning 'small' or 'modest.' The name became famous through St. Paul the Apostle, and was widely adopted throughout Christian Europe.
St. Paul—originally named Saul—had one of history's most dramatic religious conversions, and his adopted name 'Paulus' (the modest one) ironically belonged to a man whose ideas would reshape Western civilization.
