Last Name HULL

Summary/Contribute


Meaning	Local: Of Hull, and important seaport in East Riding Yorks. Also, local. 'at the hull,' i.e. hill. Local: From the city of 'Hull,' in Yorkshire, England, which comes from the Teutonic or Saxon 'Hulen' or 'Heulen,' to howl, from the noise the river Hull makes when it meets there with the sea. 'Hull' is an old word for a hill; 'Hull,' Welsh, a rough, uneven place. The city of Hull was anciently famous for its good government, whence arose this old saying, called the Beggars' and Vagranta' Litany: "From Hell, Hull, and Halifax, Good Lord deliver us!" From 'Hull,' because of the severe chastisement they met with there, and from 'Halifax,' for a law there instantly beheading with an engine, without any legal proceedings, those who were taken in the act of stealing cloth - either being probably more terrible than 'Hell' itself.
