The town in England isInherited fromMiddle English Hull ,Hul ,Hulle , traditionally derived fromProto-Brythonic *hʉl , fromProto-Celtic *soulos , fromProto-Indo-European *sew- ( “ to press ” ) ; Breeze instead suggests derivation fromhula , plural ofhulu ( “ hut ” ) .[ 1] Chaucer 'sHulle (for expected*Hul ,*Hule ) is presumably a hypersouthernism.
The surname is either from the English town or Middle Englishhulle , western variant ofhylle ( “ hill ” ) ; many other place names are ultimately from the surname.
