Galahad Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. the name of the spotless knight, s. of Lancelot, who alone achieved the quest of the Holy Grail. The name seems to have been invented by the author of La Queste del’ Saint Graal; Galahad’s ancestry as given there contains several Biblical names, and it has been plausibly suggested that Galahad, or Galaad as it is spelt in the earliest MSS, represents Hebrew Gilead. Rhys’s attempted etymology from Welsh gwalch ‘hawk’ and hâv or hâf ‘summer' is unconvincing. Galahad has occasionally been used as a christian name since Tennyson’s Idylls of the King made the Arthurian legends generally known.
A Celtic name, meaning: Valorous.
