My research shows that the spelling, "Gail" is derived from the Old English spelling for "gaily", meaning "happy", as is the spelling "Gayle". The spelling "Gale" is simply an English synonym for "wind storm".
Also worthy of note: The Gaels were originally an Irish tribe who have subsequently spread to Scotland and the Isle of Man, and appear to be the originators of the Gaelic language.
