Paul es un nombre de pila masculino común en latín en países y etnias con herencia cristiana ( ortodoxia oriental , catolicismo , protestantismo ) y, más allá de Europa, en comunidades religiosas cristianas de todo el mundo. Paul, o sus variaciones, puede ser un nombre de pila o un apellido.
Origen y difusión
El nombre existe desde la época romana. Deriva del apellido romano Paulus o Paullus , del adjetivo latino que significa "pequeño", "humilde", "mínimo" o "pequeño". [1] [2] Durante la Edad Clásica se usaba para distinguir al menor de dos personas de la misma familia que llevaban el mismo nombre. La familia patricia romana de la Gens Aemilia incluía a personas tan prominentes como Lucius Aemilius Paullus , Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus , Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus , Tertia Aemilia Paulla (la esposa de Escipión el Africano ) y Sergio Paulo .
Su prevalencia en naciones con herencia cristiana se debe principalmente a su apego al Apóstol San Pablo , cuyo nombre griego era Παῦλος, Paûlos , una transliteración del latín, que también lleva el significado "modesto" de este nombre, y elegido por su similitud con su nombre judío Šaul. El nombre Pablo es común, con variaciones, en todos los idiomas europeos.
La popularidad de Paul ha variado. En los Estados Unidos, el censo de 1990 muestra que ocupó el puesto número 13 entre los nombres masculinos más comunes; [3] sin embargo, los datos de la Administración del Seguro Social muestran que Paul estaba entre los 20 nombres de pila más comunes en 1968, después de lo cual comenzó un declive constante. [4]
Las versiones femeninas son Paula , Pauline , Paulina y Paulette .
