Paavali

  1. Paul (biblical character).
    • 1776, The Holy Bible, Acts 13:9:
      Mutta Saulus (joka myös Paavaliksi kutsutaan,) oli täynnä Pyhää Henkeä, katsoi hänen päällensä
      Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him
  2. (rare as a first name) a male given name, rather rare in this biblical spelling
    • 1958, Simo Puupponen, Pikku Pietarin piha, WSOY (1972), page 9:
      Pietari oli nimi, jonka äiti oli hänelle vaatimalla vaatinut. Kas kun ei vielä Paavali tai Jeesus, oli isä sanonut, mutta äiti ei ollut antanut periksi vaan saanut Pietarinsa. Jormalainen oli leikkipäällä ollessaan itse näin kertonut.
      Pietari was the name that his mother had insisted on. What's next, Paavali or Jeesus, had his father said, but his mother had not given in and kept saying Pietari. Jormalainen had himself jocosely told this story.
    • 1995, Jari Tervo, Pyhiesi yhteyteen, WSOY, →ISBN, page 89:
      ―Mie oon Paavali. ―Paavali on pappi. ―Meillä on papin kans sama nimi.
      ―I'm Paavali. ―Paavali is a priest. ―Well, we share the same name.
