Dule is in Origin.
Dule is a South Slavic diminutive of Dušan and other Duš- names, ultimately from Proto-Slavic duša "soul," giving the sense "soulful" or "dear soul." It is common in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia, and is written Дуле in Cyrillic. Long used as an affectionate home name, it has also been registered as an independent given name since the late 20th century, popularized by athletes and entertainers known publicly as Dule.
The closest formal counterpart is Dušan; related hypocoristics include Duško and Duda, with feminine relatives Dušica and Duška. Across the region, variants of the root stay consistent: Serbian/Croatian/Slovene Dušan, Czech/Slovak Dušan, and Bulgarian Душан (Dušan). Spelling is stable as Dule in Latin script, with stress typically on the first syllable (DOO-leh). Compact and friendly, it travels easily while signaling Slavic heritage and the warm meaning of "soul."
