[Facts] Ethimology of Galileo + another question for the experts
GALILEO Il nome deriva dall'ebraico Galil e significa "circondario, regione". L'onomastico si festeggia il 1° novembre essendo un nome adespot.
From http://www.rulla.com/origine_dei_nomi_G.htmForm 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).Andreas Brosch
