Couldn't be a Gaulish *Puso (I have never even seen this form) - all Celtic dialects lose PIE -P-.
A PIE *peH2son- would create a Gaulish *Auson-

The form EIEC gives is *péh2uson,  (macron over o). It is also connected to Gaulish or Venetic Puso, and Messapic Pauso (all are proper names). Polome says this would be built on *peh2 'protect, feed (cattle)'.
