JulL

Jull is a surname of English-language origin that is relatively uncommon in modern usage. It is primarily encountered in genealogical records and local histories rather than in wide biographical references. The spelling without an ending “e” distinguishes it from related, more common variants such as Jewell or Jules, though these names may share historical roots in some family lines.

Etymologically, the exact origins of Jull are not definitively established. It is generally treated as a variant spelling of related surnames and may derive from a given name such as Julian or Julius, or from a toponymic source connected to a place name. As with many short, agent-based surnames, regional spelling variations have occurred over centuries, contributing to a range of forms in historical documents.

Geographically, Jull remains relatively rare. It appears in English-language records dating back to the late medieval period and has been spotted in diaspora communities in North America and other English-speaking regions. In contemporary contexts, bearers of the name can be found in various countries, but the surname remains uncommon overall.

There are no widely known figures with the surname Jull who are universally recognized in major reference works. The name tends to appear in local or regional contexts, and it is sometimes cataloged alongside variant spellings of related names in genealogical resources.
