Is Cullen an Irish name?
Its Scottish


''Cullen Surname Origin


Locality. From the town of Cullen, in Banffshire, Scotland. The derivation is uncertain. It may be from Cuillean, holly, a place of holly-trees; or Cullin, the place at the neck of the lake, from Cul, a neck, the back of any thing, and lin, a lake, a pond."





From what I recall, the Cullen clan was closely associated with the Stuarts, being one of the clans who supported and defended them through history.
Reply:Oh haha, I thought you were referring to the Cullens from Twilight...





But I think dingo60 is right, it's Scottish. I looked up the Cullen coat of arms the other day and it said it was originally Scottish.
