👉 Pfaltzgraff means a "stark, sharp, or hard-colored leaf," from Latin "pätlis" meaning "sharp" and "grafus" which roughly translates to "leaf." This term refers to an oblong leaf with sharply pointed edges that resembles a pelt of armor. In the Bible, it's commonly associated with the angel Gabriel, who was said to have given this epithet when he saw a "stark, sharp, or hard-colored leaf" (Psalm 127:4).
