Word origin
The word 'gull' originates from the Old Norse word 'gaฬl' which means 'to scream or cry'. The term was first used in the 15th century to refer to these noisy seabirds. Gulls have long been associated with the sea and coastal areas, and their distinctive appearance and behavior have made them a familiar sight to people living near the ocean.
