The yule Surname
yule Name Meaning and History
Scottish and English: nickname for someone who was born on
Christmas Day or had some other connection with this time of year,
from Middle English yule ‘Christmastide’ (Old English
geol, reinforced by the cognate Old Norse term
jól). This was originally the name of a pagan midwinter
festival, which was later appropriated by the Christian Church for
celebration of the birth of Christ.
