hull hüll
English
Etymology
The town in England is en enm Hull 1, enm Hul, enm Hulle, traditionally derived from en cel-bry-pro *hʉl, from en cel-pro *soulos, from en ine-pro *sew- to press; Breeze instead suggests derivation from ang hula, plural of ang hulu hut.12 September 2019 Andrew Breeze Old English Hula ‘Sheds’ and Hull, Yorkshire SELIM: Journal of the Spanish Society for Medieval English Language and Literature Universidad de Oviedo 24 1 10.17811/selim.24.2019.149-156 149-156 Chaucer's enm Hulle (for expected enm *Hul, enm *Hule) is presumably a hypercorrect Southern form.
The surname is either from the English town or enm hulle, western variant of enm hylle hill; many other place names are ultimately from the surname.
