Reule is Hebrew in Origin.

Reule is a rare given name most often treated as an English respelling of the biblical Hebrew Reuel (Re’u-el), meaning “friend of God” or “God is a friend.” Reuel appears several times in the Hebrew Bible, including as an alternate name for Moses’ father-in-law and as an Edomite chief. The form enjoyed modest use in Puritan and early American records; modern awareness rose via J. R. R. Tolkien’s middle name, occasionally prompting creative variants such as Reule.

Reule also overlaps with surnames of French and German origin - Ruel/Reule - sometimes taken from place-names or topographic terms for a lane or stream, which lends a subtle “by the lane/stream” resonance in contemporary given-name use. Variants and related forms include Reuel, Ruel, Reuell, and Raguel; near-cognates often confused with it are Raul/Raoul and Ralph (different roots). Common short forms are Rue or Ruel; pronunciation varies: ROOL or ROO-əl.
