Meaning and origin of the Gola last name

Meaning of the Gola last name: a bare landscape or a descriptive nickname. Gola has Polish explanations from goły, bare or bald, and from gola, treeless heathland. Sorbian forms have related meanings. Italian Gola can independently concern a mountain hollow or a form of Cola. The same last name spelling therefore need not describe the same terrain or personal-name history.
