Pablo

Pronunciation: /ˈpablo/

“Pablo” is a Spanish word. Its meaning in English:

proper noun

  1. Paul (biblical character)

Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish Pablo. 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.
