Gael \Gael\, n.sing. & pl. [See Gaelic.] (Ethnol.) A Celt or the Celts of the Scotch Highlands or of Ireland; now esp., a Scotch Highlander of Celtic origin.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1810, from Scottish Gaelic Gaidheal "member of the Gaelic race" (Irish, Scottish, Manx), corresponding to Old Irish Goidhel (compare Latin Gallus under Gallic, also see Galitia, Galatians). The native name in both Ireland and Scotland; owing to the influence of Scottish writers Gael was used in English at first exclusively of Highland Scots.
Wikipedia
Gaël ( Gallo: Gaèu) is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in northwestern France.
It lies southwest of Rennes between Saint-Méen-le-Grand and Mauron. In the 18th century, a fair was held twice a year in August and October.
Gaël (feminine Gaëlle) is a French ( Breton) given name. Its etymology is uncertain, it may be related to the ethnonym Gael ( Goidel); alternatively, it may be a variant of the name Gwenhael (name of a 6th-century Breton saint).
While the popularltiy of the masculine name Gaël has been consistently at about rank 100 in France during the 2000s, the feminine name was at rank 100 in 2000 but has declined in popularity since, dropping below rank 400 by 2010. The masculine name Gael in the United States rose steeply in popularity during the 2000s; below rank 1,000 before 2002, it rose to rank 146 in 2012.
Gael also sees some use as a feminine given name in the United States, as a variant of Gail, Gayle (short form of Abigail).

- The Gaels, an Indo-European people
- Gael, a monthly women's magazine in Belgium
- Gaël, a village in Brittany, France
- Gaël (given name), a personal name
