Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

An ancient Hungarian name associated with a ruler's title and the Turkic word for a torch.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ide o staré maďarské osobné meno utvorené z hodnostného názvu gyula, ktorý označoval jedného z najvyšších predstaviteľov staromaďarského kmeňového zväzu, pravdepodobne najvyššieho sudcu alebo vojenského veliteľa. Názov hodnosti sa zvyčajne spája s turkickým, azda chazarským slovom *yula vo význame „fakľa“. Neskoršie stotožnenie mena Gyula s latinským menom Iulius (Július) je druhotné a etymologicky neopodstatnené.
