How to Pronounce Rual
Pronounced ROO-uhl /ΛruΛ.Ιl/Low
Meaning: Rual is best read as a variant or respelling of Raul, the Spanish and Portuguese form of Ralph, from Germanic roots meaning 'counsel-wolf' or 'wise wolf.' It may equally be a short coined name of the early twentieth century. Because the record is thin and the spelling ambiguous, we give the Raul reading as most likely while noting the genuine uncertainty.Low

History & Origin
Rual is a sparsely recorded early-century American boy's name whose origin is not firmly settled. The most likely reading is a respelling of Raul, the Spanish form of Ralph, from Germanic elements meaning 'counsel' and 'wolf.' It may instead be a short coined or family name. We trace the probable Raul-Ralph line honestly and keep the entry appropriately modest.
Rual appears in United States records only faintly in the early twentieth century, given to about fifteen boys at its best around the late nineteen-twenties and scattered thinly thereafter. A boy named Rual then would belong to the great-grandparent generation today.
