Paul (given Name)
Paul () is a common masculine given name in countries and ethnicities with a Christian heritage (Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Protestantism) and, beyond Europe, in Christian religious communities throughout the world. Paul – or its variations – can be a given name or surname. Origin and diffusion The name has existed since Roman times. It derives from the Roman family name ''Paulus'' or ''Paullus'', from the Latin adjective meaning "small", "humble", "least" or "little" . During the Classical Age it was used to distinguish the minor of two people of the same family bearing the same name.

Paul (exarch)
Paul ( la, Paulus; grc-gre, Παύλος, Paúlos; before 717/18 – 726/27) was a senior Byzantine official under Leo III the Isaurian, serving as the '' strategos'' of Sicily, and then as the Exarch of Ravenna from 723 until his death. Life Paul is first mentioned in 717/18. Theophanes the Confessor calls him the private ''chartoularios'' of Emperor Leo III the Isaurian, while Patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople calls him a loyal and close confidant (''oikeios'') of Leo's, and that he was experienced in military matters. As a result, when the governor ('' strategos'') of Sicily, Sergios, driven by a false message that Constantinople had fallen to the Arabs, declared a rival emperor in the person of Basil Onomagoulos, Leo named him as Sergios' replacement and sent him to Sicily to restore control. It was probably on this occasion that he was raised to the rank of ''patrikios'', although Patriarch Nikephoros implies that he already held the title. He is commonly held to ha ...
