Tuule is Estonian in Origin.

Tuule is an Estonian feminine given name built on the Finnic root tuul-/tuuli "wind." In Estonian grammar tuule is the genitive case, literally "of the wind," a poetic turn that lends the name an airy, free-spirited meaning. The root is shared across the Uralic languages (compare Finnish tuuli), reinforcing a nature-based etymology tied to movement, breath, and change.

The name took hold in Estonia in the early to mid-20th century, when modern, nature-derived names gained favor, and it remains a distinctive but recognizable choice. While Tuule itself is primarily Estonian, closely related forms appear around the Baltic-Finnic area: Tuuli and Tuul (EE/FI), Tuula and Tuulikki (FI), as well as Estonian diminutives Tuulike and Tuuliki. Compound Estonian forms such as Tuule-Liis or Tuule-Mari also occur. Overall, Tuule conveys lightness and vitality with strong regional roots.
