Etymology of Bulet

The roots of the Anglo-Saxon name Bulet come from when the family resided in Surrey. "Whilst this may occasionally be a late development of BULLED ‘bull-head’, as regularly explained, the main source is clearly different. We have probably a diminutive of Old French boule ‘round’ found in the French surnames Boule, Boulle, Boulot, Bou/et, Boullot and Boullet which Dauzat explains as ‘un individu gros, arrondi’. The noun bullet is from French boulet, a diminutive of boule ‘ball’ " 1

Another source claims the name denoted a "dweller at the sign of the bull's head; one with a bull-shaped head." 2

Migration of the Bulet family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Bulet or a variant listed above: a number of settlers who arrived in the New World by the 19th century.
