Juul is a Scandinavian given name derived from the Old Norse word jól, referring to the midwinter festival known in English as Yule, a celebration later absorbed into Christmas traditions across northern Europe. The name essentially marks a child born during or associated with this festive season, much as the English name Noel does for French speakers. It is used in Danish and Dutch contexts and is closely related to the Scandinavian surname and given name Jul, as well as the Old English cognate Geōl, from which modern Yule descends.
