Paul's Hebrew name was pronounced shah-ool (ש×ול) in Hebrew.
Since there is no sh sound in Greek, the Greeks would have pronounced it Sa'ool, which later became Anglicized as Saul.
Paul of Tarsus likely spoke multiple languages, including Greek, Aramaic, and possibly Hebrew. His letters in the New Testament suggest a proficiency in Greek, the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean at the time.
