Pullan

Pullan is a surname of English origin that may also appear in rare cases as a place-name in Britain. The etymology of Pullan is not definitively established in public onomastic sources; it is generally regarded as arising from English medieval naming practices, possibly as a habitational or occupational form, though no single explanation is universally accepted. Over time, the name has spread to other parts of the world through migration and is borne by individuals in a range of professions, including academia, business, and the arts. In modern usage, there is no single figure or lineage that dominates the public association with the name. While uncommon, instances of Pullan as a place-name or locale are noted in some regional records, but such uses are not widely recognized as distinct settlements. The term is primarily understood as a proper noun and is encountered mainly in reference to people bearing the surname rather than to a common noun with a general meaning.
