  • giel (West Frisian): yellow
  • Gael and the Gall (Irish phrase): "the native Irishman and the foreigner," describing the population in Ireland of the Celts, the Vikings, and the Normans

Hence, gielgaulgalls suggests yellow (blond-haired) interbred Celts and foreigners, i.e., the modern-day Irishmen.
