The bullen Surname
bullen Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from the French Channel port of
Boulogne, recorded in Latin sources both as Gessoriacum and as
Bononia. The latter name is clearly the source of the modern
place name. It is ostensibly a derivative of Latin bonus ‘good’
(compare Bolognese), but may in fact come from a Gaulish
element bona ‘foundation’. Boulogne has long been a major
trading port between England and France.
