What is the first name of the title character in the novel 'Gulliver's Travels'?

'Gulliver's Travels', or 'Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships', (which is the full title), is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. He himself claimed that he wrote 'Gulliver's Travels' "to vex the world rather than divert it".

The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The travel begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages.
