The surname HOHULIN is believed to have originated in Germany, possibly as early as the 13th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old German word "hoh," meaning "high," and the suffix "-lin," indicating a diminutive form, suggesting it may have referred to a person who lived on a high hill or elevated area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name HOHULIN can be found in the Würzburg Chronicles, a historical record from the late 13th century, which mentions a "Hans Hohulin" as a resident of the city. Another early reference is in the Nuremberg Tax Records of 1412, where a "Konrad Hohulin" is listed as a taxpayer.

In the 15th century, the HOHULIN name appears to have spread throughout southern Germany and parts of Austria. Records from the city of Augsburg in 1487 mention a "Georg Hohulin," a merchant and member of the local guild. Around the same time, the name is also found in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where a "Christoph Hohulin" is recorded as a landowner in 1492.

During the 16th century, the HOHULIN name began to appear in other parts of Europe, likely due to migration and trade. In the Netherlands, a "Jan Hohulin" is listed in the Amsterdam Guild Records of 1532 as a master craftsman. In Switzerland, a "Hans Hohulin" is mentioned in the Basel City Archives as a citizen in 1578.

One notable figure with the HOHULIN surname was Johannes Hohulin (1510-1586), a German Lutheran theologian and professor at the University of Wittenberg. He was a contemporary and colleague of Martin Luther and played a significant role in the Reformation.

Another individual of note was Anna Hohulin (1625-1701), a German midwife and herbalist renowned for her knowledge of traditional remedies and her work in assisting women during childbirth in the region of Franconia.

In the 18th century, the HOHULIN name can be found in various parts of Germany and neighboring countries. For example, a "Johann Hohulin" (1712-1784) was a prominent clockmaker in the town of Schmalkalden, while a "Friedrich Hohulin" (1742-1809) was a respected jurist and legal scholar in the city of Mainz.
