The history of the last name Julmis

The surname JULMIS has its origins in the Scandinavian region, specifically Norway and Sweden. The name is believed to have emerged during the Viking era, around the 8th to 11th centuries.

This suggests that the name may have been associated with a person involved in the harvesting or distribution of evergreen branches during the winter solstice celebrations.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JULMIS name can be found in the Icelandic Sagas, which are a collection of medieval literary works that document the lives and adventures of Scandinavian settlers in Iceland.
