Pawlo is Slavic in Origin.

Pawlo is a contemporary Eastern European variant of the Paul name family, bridging Polish Paweł and Ukrainian Pavlo; both descend from Latin Paulus, meaning “small” or “humble.” The fame of Saint Paul the Apostle propelled widespread use across Christendom from late antiquity onward. In Slavic lands, localized forms flourished, and in immigrant records of the 19th–20th centuries Pawlo occasionally appears as a phonetic or diacritic‑free rendering of Paweł or Pavlo in English-speaking settings.

Variants and cognates include Paul and Paulus; Pavel (Russian, Bulgarian, Czech), Pavlo (Ukrainian), Pavol (Slovak), Paweł/Pawel (Polish), Paolo (Italian), Paulo (Portuguese), Pablo (Spanish), Pau (Catalan), and Pól/Pòl (Irish/Scottish Gaelic). Diminutives vary by language - Pasha (Russian), Pavlyk (Ukrainian), and Pawełek or Pawlik (Polish). The core meaning evokes humility joined to zeal and learning, and many traditions celebrate a name day on June 29, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul.
