Tullie

Tullie is an uncommon masculine name that may have originated as a diminutive form of the Roman family name Tullius, famously borne by the Roman orator and statesman Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero). The name has Latin roots and may relate to the word 'tullius' meaning 'one who leads.' Alternatively, it could be a variation of Tully, which itself derives from the Irish surname Ó Tuallaigh. As a given name, Tullie has a gentle, somewhat playful quality despite its classical origins. It remained relatively obscure throughout history, never achieving mainstream popularity. For modern parents, Tullie offers an unusual option with subtle connections to ancient Roman heritage, appealing to those seeking a soft-sounding yet distinctly masculine name with historical undertones.

Pronounced TUL-ee.

As of October 2026, Tullie ranked #4834 in US births in 1923 SSA, peaked at #3689 in 1918.
