Does anyone know where Jul comes from as an arabic name/what original name it's derived from?

According to nordicnames.de it means "willpower', 'determination".

It could be a borrowing from Persian Gul or Turkish Gül, in this case it would mean "Rose" and would be used as a feminine name, but the native Arabic word for rose is Warda (also used as a given name).

Thank you! I can see how it could be derived from Gul but I don't think that's it.

The source given on nordicnames is a paper from the Copenhagen University so I would guess that the meaning and origin is correct but I can’t find any more infos.

I found the paper online, but it doesn't give any more information than nordicnames does.

Maybe you'll get an answer on this site: https://quranicnames.com/
(already checked: they don't have Jul in their list, but they do have a message board)
