Gallah is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Gallah is a rare given name with layered roots in Celtic and Latin traditions. In Irish and Scottish Gaelic, gall means “foreigner, outsider”; from it comes Gallach (“of the foreigners”), a byname attested in medieval Gaelic records and the source of the surnames Gallagher/Gallaher. As an Anglicized spelling, Gallah can echo that Gaelic heritage and is often read as “one from outside” or “the stranger.” In Latin, Galla is the feminine of Gallus, “a Gaul,” and was borne by a 6th‑century Roman widow and saint, adding an early Christian anchor to the name’s history.

Modern usage of Gallah is very uncommon and typically unisex, appealing for its crisp sound and old‑world resonance. Variants and related forms include Galla, Galah, Gallagh, Gallach, Gallaher, Gallagher (surname), Gala, and Latin Gallus. Meaning clusters around “foreigner,” “Gaul(ish) person,” or “one from abroad.”
