Meaning & History

Italian form of Galehaut, as it appeared in the fifth canto of Dante Alighieri's Inferno (written between 1308 and 1320) and Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron (written between 1348 and 1353). Also compare the somewhat similar-looking name Galeazzo.

A known Italian bearer of this name was the medieval military leader Galeotto I Malatesta (1299-1385).
