Meaning & Origins
English: nickname from the wild boar, Middle English galte, gaute, gault (Old Norse gǫltr). Wild boars were common in the British Isles from the earliest times, and became extinct only with the clearing of the large tracts of forest which formerly covered the country; hunting them was a favorite pastime in the Middle Ages.
