[[यादव]] ([[अहीर]]) [[क्षत्रिय|क्षत्रियों]] को

[[गाय|गायों]] की रक्षा व पालन के कारण [[गोप]] व गोपाल की संज्ञा दी गयी। उस अवधि में (500 ईसा पूर्व से 1 ईसा पूर्व तक) जब भारत में [[पालि भाषा|पालीभाषा]] प्रचलित थी, [[गोपाल]] शब्द को संशोधित किया गया था एवं गोपाल' शब्द को 'गोआल' में बदल दिया गया और आगे संशोधन करके इसे '[[ग्वाला|ग्वाल]]' का रूप दे दिया गया। एक अज्ञात कवि ने एक श्लोक में इसका उपयुक्त वर्णन किया है कि "गोपालन के कारण [[यादव]] '[[गोप]]' कहलाते हैं, और 'गोपाल' कहलाने के बाद, वे '[[ग्वाला|ग्वाल]]' कहलाते हैं।<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wT-BAAAAMAAJ&newbks=0&hl=en|title=The Cattle and the Stick: An Ethnographic Profile of the Raut of Chhattisgarh|last=Soni|first=Lok Nath|date=2000|publisher=Anthropological Survey of India, Government of India, Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Department of Culture|isbn=978-81-85579-57-3|language=en|quote=Abhira Kshatriyas were named Gope when they protected the cows, and Gopal when they tended and grazed the cows. 23 In the period (from 500 B.C. to 1 B.C.) when the Pali language was prevalent in India, the word 'Gopal was modified to 'Goal' and by further modification it took the form of Gwal. This has been aptly described by an unknown poet 24 in a verse that" due to rearing cattle, the Yadav are called ' Gope', and after being called' Gopal', they are called' Gwal' (Singh, 1945).}}</ref>
