The Anglo-Saxon name Hullon comes from the baptismal name Hugh. As the naming tradition grew in Europe baptismal names began to be introduced in many countries. Baptismal names were sometimes given in honor of Christian saints and other biblical figures. There are very few Christian countries in Europe that did not adopt surnames from these religious figures.

In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships.
