Sul

Sul is a term with several meanings across languages and contexts. In Portuguese, sul means "south" and appears in geographic naming and regional designations, including the southern part of Brazil known as the Região Sul. The Região Sul comprises three states: Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul.

In Italian, sul is a contracted preposition meaning "on the" that combines su + il before masculine singular nouns starting with a consonant, as in sul tavolo or sul mare.

As an onomastic element, Sul can be found as a surname or given name in some communities, though it is not among the most common names in most regions.

In other uses, Sul may appear as an acronym, abbreviation, or toponym in organizations, media, or creative works, depending on the context. Because it has multiple meanings, clarification is often necessary to determine which sense is intended in a given text.
