Galal is the name of two Levites in post-exilic genealogies (1 Chr 9:15-16, Neh 11:17). The name likely derives from a root meaning 'to roll' (possibly 'dung' in a derogatory sense, or simply 'roller'). Despite its potentially humble meaning, these Levites served in the restored temple community. The repetition of the name suggests it was not uncommon among Levitical families. Like many biblical names, it may have commemorated circumstances of birth or expressed a parent's theology, though the exact significance is lost to us.
