Tuller History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsDuring the Middle Ages, the surname of Tuller was used in Scotland. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in Scotland, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages.
