Gale Genealogy & History
Gale is an ancient English surname, originally a nickname for someone merry, from Old English/Old French gal/gail. Alternatively, it could have been an occupational/locational name from Old French gaiole, for a jailer or someone living near the jail. In England, Gale family history traces to feudal times in Cornwall and in America to 1623 in Virginia. One family motto, esperez en Dieu, means hope in God; another motto, qui semina vertu raccoglia fama, means who seeds virtue collects reputation. The lions' heads and crosses on the coat of arms signify fierce courage, perhaps during the Crusades. A noted name-holder in Gale genealogy is Pulitzer Prize-winner Zona Gale.
