The name Saul is of Hebrew origin and means Respondent. Paul means Little or Small.
Why the Lord chose to rename Saul to Paul is not known, though the original Jewish name of the apostle Saul was Paul.

Yes the vision was powerful.
Another answer:Saul was not saved by his vision; Jesus told him to "go into the city, and you will be told what you must do" (Acts 9:6). Saul was baptized by Ananias after spending three days in Damascus blinded by his vision, taking no food or drink (v.9).Acts 9:17-19 - And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.
Not only was Saul baptized, he was baptized before he even ate after fasting for three days. His haste clearly affirms the need, and speaks volumes about what's truly important.
Also, in the discourse recorded in Acts 22, Saul (now called Paul) quotes Ananias in verse 16: 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

Saul (Paul) broke more than one. On the road to Damascus Christ asked him why Saul was persecuting Him. That was a turning point in Saul's life. Saul was blinded by being in Christ's light. Saul could have been bitter for being blinded but he wasn't. He was grateful he was shown the light.
