[Facts] Ethimology of Galileo + another question for the experts
in reply to a message by catharus
GALILEO Il nome deriva dall'ebraico Galil e significa "circondario, regione". L'onomastico si festeggia il 1° novembre essendo un nome adespot.

Form the Hebrew "Galil" which means "neighbour" or "from a region"
This name's day is Nobember 1.
Is the equivalente, en English to Galileo, Galilee or is this just another Hebrew name that sounds similar?
Hope this helps,
Magia.

Hi!
The original meaning of the Hebrew word "galil" (or glila) is "circle", the root being "GLL" (to roll).
