We know, that Allan is given Male name.

Now, we observe that, Merriam-Webster Thesaurus gives:
gall --> a synonym of chutzpah
try --> a synonym of attempt

Accordingly,  in consonance with the given clues, we must have:
gall + Allan + try => gall + (All)an+ try  => gallantry
 Consequently,  the required word is "gallantry"

Note: Merriam-Webster Dictionary provides the following meanings of  "gallantry":
1. archaic : gallant appearance.
2 a: an act of marked courtesy
   b: courteous attention to a lady.
   c: amorous attention or pursuit.
3: spirited and conspicuous bravery.

Of these, (3) is the most common meaning in English language.
