Tull Origin and Meaning

The name Tull is a boy's name.

Tull is a rare masculine name with several possible origins. It may be derived from the Old English 'Tulla,' a nickname for someone who was reliable or steadfast. It could also be a shortened form of Tulliver or Tulloch, both surnames with Scottish and English roots. The name has gained some recognition through Jethro Tull, the 18th-century agriculturist (and later, the rock band named after him). Tull has a distinctive, strong quality with its short, one-syllable structure and hard consonant ending. The brevity of the name gives it a modern, no-nonsense appeal. While uncommon as a first name, Tull offers simplicity and uniqueness for parents seeking a name that stands apart from trends. Its rarity ensures a distinctive identity.
