The name is believed to have derived from the Italian word "raullo," meaning a small stream or brook, suggesting that the earliest bearers of this surname may have lived near a small waterway.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name RAULLI can be found in the historical archives of the city of Florence, where a certain Guido RAULLI was mentioned as a merchant and landowner in the year 1387. This record provides valuable insight into the presence of the name in the Tuscan region during the late medieval period.

In the 16th century, the name RAULLI gained prominence in the town of Siena, where a family of that name held notable positions within the local government and ecclesiastical hierarchy. The most renowned member of this family was Francesco RAULLI, a respected jurist and scholar who authored several treatises on canon law, born in 1521 and died in 1592.

The RAULLI surname also found its way into the annals of Italian art history, with Giovanni RAULLI, a celebrated painter from the Venetian school, whose works adorned several churches and palazzi in the city of Venice during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born in 1569 and died in 1631.

As the RAULLI name spread across Italy, it underwent various spelling variations, such as RAULLI, RAULLI, and RAULLI, reflecting the regional dialects and scribal practices of the time. One notable bearer of this variant spelling was Paola RAULLI, a renowned poet and writer from the city of Naples, who lived during the 18th century and was celebrated for her contributions to the Neapolitan literary scene.

In the 19th century, the RAULLI surname gained international recognition through the achievements of Enrico RAULLI, an Italian explorer and naturalist who embarked on several expeditions to the Amazon rainforest. His detailed accounts and scientific observations of the region's flora and fauna were widely published and contributed significantly to the field of natural history during that era. Enrico RAULLI was born in 1822 and died in 1892.
