Cullo is Gaelic, Scottish in Origin.

Cullo is a rare modern given name with Gaelic roots, likely a clipped form of Irish and Scottish surnames. From Irish Cullough or McCullough, Mac Cu Uladh, it carries the sense son of the hound of Ulster. From Scottish Culloch or McCulloch, it can derive from Gaelic cullach, boar, or cuileach, cockerel. Some link it to the early Irish forename Colla, borne by the legendary Three Collas.

Its meanings therefore range from protective, warrior coded hound imagery to animal totemic boar or cockerel. As a first name, Cullo remains very uncommon and chiefly contemporary in Anglophone use, influenced by the surname to given name trend. Related forms and variants include Colla, Cullough, McCullough, Culloch, McCulloch; the short form Cul occurs informally. Pronounced CULL-oh, it offers a compact, rugged profile tied to Irish and Scottish heritage.
