Gál's name day is celebrated in Hungary on October 16.
The name Gál is a traditional masculine designation that holds strong cultural resonance, particularly in Hungary, derived from the Latin Gallus, meaning "rooster" or "Gaul." In the USA, it remains exceptionally rare, primarily limited to those preserving Central European heritage, often struggling with accent mark retention in official documents. Historically, the name is centuries old, connecting back to classical European nomenclature. It projects a strong, grounded, and traditional mood, suggesting quiet authority and seriousness. Distinctly masculine worldwide, Gál is known for its crisp, powerful single-syllable sound.
