Name Meaning

English (of Norman origin): probably a habitational name from one or other of several places in northern France named Reuil or Rueil, such as Reuil (Aisne), Reuil (Marne), Réau (Seine-et-Marne), Rueil (Seine-et-Oise, Eure-et-Loir), and Reuil-sur-Brèche (Oise). Ruelle (Calvados) is also another possibility.

English: habitational name from Reule, a minor settlement now in the parish of Haughton (Staffordshire). The placename probably derives from Old English rūh ‘rough’ + halh ‘nook, corner of land’.

Scottish: habitational name from the lands of Rule (Roxburghshire), now Bedrule, Hallrule, and Abbotrule. The placename may be from Old English rūh ‘rough’ + wella ‘spring, stream’, or may embody an older British Celtic name.
