recently while researching the meaning of "Galle" I stumbled on this article.

Galle stems from the greek word χολή cholé which in english means 'bile', a thick yellow fluid which is produced by the liver and then passed onto the intestines to digest food. Of course the word cholera stems from the same word.

My question is, what is the reason for this place being called Galle?
