The surname Hullock was first found in Glasgow, where John Hillock was a witness in 1517. A few years later, John Hyllok was witness at Tuliboill in 1546 and Robert Hillock was listed in Drumlithie in 1601. 1
The name can also be English, as Ragher Hilloc was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls of Norfolk in 1205. Over in Somerset, John Hillok was listed there in the Subsidy Rolls of 1327. Literally, the name means "dweller by the small hill," from a diminutive of the Old English word "hyll," meaning "hill." 2
