Family

The Yuille family is a Scottish family with historical roots that can be traced back to the medieval period. The name Yuille, also spelled occasionally as Yuill or Yule, is believed to have originated from the Old English word “geol,” which refers to the Yule festival, indicating a possible connection to midwinter celebrations. Over the centuries, the Yuilles established themselves primarily in the west of Scotland, particularly around the areas of Dumbartonshire and Lanarkshire. The family’s history is marked by their involvement in local governance and land ownership, with several notable members contributing to the civic and cultural development of their regions. Despite not being recognized as an official clan, the Yuilles have a distinct identity and heritage that reflects the rich tapestry of Scottish history.
