The etymology of the name "Gedalio" traces back to Hebrew origins. In Hebrew, "Gedalyahu" (גְּדַלְיָהוּ) is a given name generally comprised of two elements:
1. "Gedal" (גְּדַל), which translates to "great" or "majestic" in English.
2. "Yah" (יָהוּ), a shortened form of "Yahweh", referring to the Hebrew name of God.
Therefore, when combined, "Gedalio" essentially means "greatness of God" or "majesty of God". It is important to note that name etymologies can have variations and interpretations across different languages and cultures.
