"Gaule" meaning in French

See Gaule in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ɡol/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-LoquaxFR-Gaule.wav
Etymology: Inherited from Middle French Gaule, from Old French Gaule, Waulle (“Gaul”), from Frankish *Walhaland (“Gaul”, literally “land of the Romans or foreigners”). Cognate with Old High German Walh, Walah (“Celt, Roman, Gaul”), Old English wealh, walh (“a non-germanic foreigner, Celt”), Old Norse Valir (“Gauls, Frenchmen”). More at Wales, Cornwall, Walloon. Despite their similar appearance, Latin Gallia is not the origin of French Gaule. During the evolution from Latin to French, stressed initial /ˈɡa-/ yielded /dʒa/ > /ʒa/ (cf. Latin gamba > French jambe), while unstressed final /-lia/ yielded /ʎə/ > /j/ (cf. Latin filia > French fille). Thus, the regular outcome of Latin Gallia is /ʒaj/ ⟨Jaille⟩, which is attested in several French toponyms: La Jaille-Yvon, Saint-Mars-la-Jaille, etc. Etymology templates: {{dercat|fr|gem|gem-pro|cel}}, {{glossary|Inherited}} Inherited, {{inh|fr|frm|Gaule|||g=|g2=|g3=|id=|lit=|nocat=|pos=|sc=|sort=|tr=|ts=}} Middle French Gaule, {{inh+|fr|frm|Gaule}} Inherited from Middle French Gaule, {{inh|fr|fro|Gaule}} Old French Gaule, {{der|fr|frk|*Walhaland|lit=land of the Romans or foreigners|t=Gaul}} Frankish *Walhaland (“Gaul”, literally “land of the Romans or foreigners”), {{cog|goh|Walh}} Old High German Walh, {{cog|ang|wealh}} Old English wealh, {{cog|non|Valir||Gauls, Frenchmen}} Old Norse Valir (“Gauls, Frenchmen”), {{cog|la|Gallia}} Latin Gallia Head templates: {{fr-proper noun|f}} Gaule f

  "etymology_text": "Inherited from Middle French Gaule, from Old French Gaule, Waulle (“Gaul”), from Frankish *Walhaland (“Gaul”, literally “land of the Romans or foreigners”).\nCognate with Old High German Walh, Walah (“Celt, Roman, Gaul”), Old English wealh, walh (“a non-germanic foreigner, Celt”), Old Norse Valir (“Gauls, Frenchmen”). More at Wales, Cornwall, Walloon.\nDespite their similar appearance, Latin Gallia is not the origin of French Gaule. During the evolution from Latin to French, stressed initial /ˈɡa-/ yielded /dʒa/ > /ʒa/ (cf. Latin gamba > French jambe), while unstressed final /-lia/ yielded /ʎə/ > /j/ (cf. Latin filia > French fille). Thus, the regular outcome of Latin Gallia is /ʒaj/ ⟨Jaille⟩, which is attested in several French toponyms: La Jaille-Yvon, Saint-Mars-la-Jaille, etc.",
