Gale is a given name. It has seen masculine and feminine use consecutively in the United States. Gale as a man's name is from an English surname, ultimately from Middle English ''gaile'' "jovial". As a woman's name, it is a short form of the biblical name Abigail.〔(behindthename.com Gale m. ); (behindthename.com Gale f. ) 〕 It was almost exclusively a masculine name before 1935; in the later 1930s, it became a popular variant of the feminine name Abigail. Feminine usage surpassed masculine usage in 1940, leading to a further decline in masculine usage, and Gale was predominantly a feminine name when it peaked in popularity in the later 1950s. Its popularity decreased rapidly in the 1960s, falling below rank 1,000 in 1971. In the 1990 census, it was ranked 4,209. ==People called Gale== Men *Gale Gordon (1906–1995), American actor *Gale Harold (born 1969), American actor *Gale McGee (1915-1992), United States Senator from Wyoming Women *Gale Ann Hurd (born 1955), American film producer and screenwriter *Gale Benson (1944–1972), British model and socialite *Gale Norton (born 1954), 48th United States Secretary of the Interior Pseudonym *Gale Storm, pseudonym of Josephine Owaissa Cottle (1922–2009), American actress Fictional characters *Gale Boetticher, from the TV series ''Breaking Bad'' * Gale Weathers-Riley, from the Scream films * Gale Hawthorne, from ''The Hunger Games'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gale (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
