Pablo

1. A male given name from Spanish, equivalent to English Paul.

From Latin Paulus, from paulus (“small”).

Pablo m

1. (biblical, Christianity) Paul
   • c. 1200, Almerich, Fazienda de Ultramar, f. 79r:

     Sant pablo q̃ ante auie nõbre ſaulus fue del tribu de beniamin naſcio en iuda e al ſegũdo año ap̃s dela paſſiõ de iħu xp̃o baptizo ananias e damaſco […]

     Saint Paul, who before had the name Saul, was of the tribe of Benjamin. He was born in Judea, and in the second year after the Passion of Jesus Christ Ananias baptized [him] in Damascus […]

• (biblical character): Saulo m

• Spanish: Pablo
  • → Tagalog: Pablo

Inherited from Old Spanish Pablo, from Latin Paulus. The change from Latin /aw/ to /aβ/ may suggest that the name passed through Byzantine Greek (unsurprising for a biblical name), or it could simply be the converse of the native change from /aβ/ to /aw/ found in cases like froga < */ˈfraβɡa/ < fabrica.
