The name Hulett is of English origin, derived from the Old English word 'hyl' meaning 'hills'. It is a rare and unique name, often found among historic families in England, particularly around the northern county of Yorkshire. In some instances, it may have been used as a given name, while in others, it served as a surname. Today, Hulett remains an uncommon choice, perhaps due to its historical ties and distinctive sound.
