Paul

Paul comes from the Roman household name ‘Paulus’, ‘Paullus’. Paulus is a Latin word which means ‘humble’, ‘small’. Hence, the meaning of Paul is ‘humble’. This name is one of the most prominent names in the 'Bible', thanks to Saint Paul the Apostle. Saint Paul, previously called Saul of Tarsus, was a Jewish Roman who was brought up in Jerusalem. In his earlier days, he was not much of an appreciator of Christianity and would imprison those who practised it. It was on his journey to Damascus on a hunt for other Christians when he came across the ascended Jesus in bright light. Paul became blind for three days, but once his vision was restored, he began preaching Christianity. He called Jesus the ‘Son of God’ and the ‘Jewish Messiah’. Paul McCartney, member of one of the most famous bands, 'The Beatles', and the superhero, Vision in 'The Marvel' franchise who is played by Paul Bettany are a couple of famous Paul's.
