Geol is in Origin.

From Old English Gēol, the source of modern Yule, Geol evokes the midwinter festival and the turning of the year. The term appears in early English month names Ærra Gēola and Æftera Gēola (“before” and “after” Yule), rooting the name in themes of winter, celebration, and renewal. Meaning: “Yule,” “midwinter,” or “winter feast.”

As a given name, Geol is a contemporary revival in English-speaking circles, its crisp form echoing Noel, Joel, Gael, and Yul. It works as a unisex, seasonally inspired choice. Cognates and cultural counterparts include Yule (English), Jul (Scandinavian languages), and Jól (Icelandic/Old Norse). Variant or related spellings/names by association: Yul, Yule; occasional nickname: Geo. Some modern namers also reinterpret Geol as a creative blend of geo- (“earth,” from Greek ge) with the theophoric -el (“God”), giving it the layered reading “earth of God.”
