Despite their similar appearance, Latin la Gallia is not the origin of French fr Gaule. During the evolution from Latin to French, stressed initial /ˈɡa-/ yielded /dʒa/ > /ʒa/ (cf. Latin la gamba > French fr jambe), while unstressed final /-lia/ yielded /ʎə/ > /j/ (cf. Latin la filia > French fr fille). Thus, the regular outcome of la Gallia is /ʒaj/ ⟨Jaille⟩, which is attested in several French toponyms: La Jaille-Yvon, Saint-Mars-la-Jaille, etc. Pronunciation fr LL-Q150 (fra)-LoquaxFR-Gaule.wav <<France>> (<<Vosges>>) Proper noun f fr Gaul Q38060 Derived terms fr Gaule aquitaine Gaule armorique Gaule belqique Gaule celtique Gaule chevelue Gaule cisalpine Gaule cispadane Gaule citérieure Gaule en braies Gaule en toge Gaule narbonnaise Gaule transalpine Gaule transpadane Gaule viennoise Related terms fr gaulois fr Gaulois Descendants en Gaul 1 Anagrams fr algue fr légua fr lugea Middle French Etymology From frm fro Gaule, fro Waulle, of frm frk - origin, from frk *Walhaland.
