from the Latin, also carrying the "modest" meaning of this name, and chosen because of its similarity to his Jewish name Šaul. The name Paul is common, with variations, in all European languages (e.g. English, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Greek, Russian, Romanian, Georgian). Paul's popularity has varied. In the United States, the 1990 census shows it ranked the 13th most common (male) name; however,
