Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish Pablo, from Latin Paulus. The change from Latin /aw/ to /aβ/ may suggest that the name passed through Byzantine Greek (unsurprising for a biblical name), or it could simply be the converse of the native change from /aβ/ to /aw/ found in cases like froga < */ˈfraβɡa/ < fabrica.
