Etymology 2

Origin obscure. Likely of Germanic origin, perhaps via Vulgar Latin *gualare, *walare, from Frankish *wala (“well”), from Proto-Germanic *wela, from Proto-Indo-European *welh₁-.

Alternatively, possibly derived from Frankish *wallōn (“to surge; well up; bubble over; roll about”), related to Old High German wallōn (“to surge; flow out; hike; wander; travel”), from Proto-Germanic *wallaną.

Possibly influenced by Frankish *gail (“merry; lively; lustful”), from Proto-Germanic *gailaz (“merry, excited, lush, beautiful, lustful”).
