Bulloch Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname has nothing to do with the name Bullock, though doubtless the names have been confused in early times. Bulloch is simply Balloch, and practically all of the name come from or originated in the parish of Baldernock, Stirlingshire (SHR., II, p. 191). In old records the form Balloch was almost invariably used until the middle of the eighteenth century. The Ballochs or Bullochs were ranked or included as a sept of the Macdonalds."The race has not been known much to fame, which is probably the reason that it has been quite overlooked by the genealogists" (SHR., II, p. 191). See also Balloch.
