Acts 13:9 Context
7Which was with the deputie of the countrey Sergius Paulus, a prudent man: who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turne away the deputy from the faith. 9Then Saul (who also is called Paul) filled with the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischiefe, thou child of the deuil, thou enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the right wayes of the Lord? 11And now behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, & thou shalt be blind, not seeing the Sunne for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkenes, and he went about, seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 13:9
13:9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul - It is not improbable, that coming now among the Romans, they would naturally adapt his name to their own language, and so called him Paul instead of Saul. Perhaps the family of the proconsul might be the first who addressed to or spoke of him by this name. And from this time, being the apostle of the Gentiles, he himself used the name which was more familiar to them.
People's Bible Notes for Acts 13:9
Ac 13:9 But Saul, (who also [is called] Paul). From this date he is the chief figure of the Acts. Barnabas, who had hitherto been the leader, falls behind. The origin of the name Paul is unknown. It is a Roman name, that of a great Roman family, and it is likely that the great apostle had two names, one Jewish, the other Gentile, a common thing anciently. Peter (Mt 16:16), Daniel (Da 1:7), Esther (Es 2:7), and many others afford examples. Filled with the Holy Ghost. Acting under the impulse of the Holy Spirit.
