The scriptures do not give the name of Saul's father. It does however reveal to us that as Saul was of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the only two tribes left after the other ten tribes were dispersed, ergo, Saul's father was of the same tribe.
Some scholars say that Saul's father is Kish.
Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, is known as the 13th Apostle.
Saul of Tarsus who was renamed Paul...he was a lawyer who studied under the renowned Gamaliel.
Paul, who was formerly called Saul. He was from Tarsus. He wrote 13 letters to different churches; those letters are called epistles.
Saul being a Pharisee was probably married knowing that to be a Pharisee it was important to be married and believe in family, however, this is not a prov-en fact. And whether or not Paul would have had any children is unlikely noting that there is no reference to any of his children or lineage documented at all.
In the Middle East, the people did not have last names per say at the time. They were called 'Name' bar 'Father's name'. Paul's/Saul's father's name is not known, but we do know that his father was Pharisee. So Paul would have been known as Saul bar (father's name) or Paul bar (father's name)
