Best Answer

Two sources are suggested for the origins of the English surname of Rule. During medieval times, the personal name (given name) Roul gained in popularity and was eventually conferred as a surname upon the son of one of them. Others were bestowed the surname in reference to the fact that they lived in or near Roxburghshire in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
