Statistics
- Muli is the 4322nd (tied with 12 other surnames) most common surname in Finland, belonging to 172 individuals, according to February 2023 data from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency of Finland.
German
Etymology
19th century, from an Alemannic German or Austro-Bavarian dialect. Possibly from an inherited form of Middle High German mūl + the diminutive suffix -li. Alternatively from Italian mulo with its plural muli associated with that suffix. Ultimately from Latin mulus, whence also Maultier.
Pronunciation
Noun
Muli n (strong, genitive Mulis, plural Mulis or (rare or southern) Muli)
- mule (hybrid offspring of a donkey and horse)
Usage notes
- The word serves as an umbrella term for Maultier and Maulesel, but the former of these may also be used as such in common speech.
Sakizaya
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /mu.ˈli/, [mu.ˈli]
Proper noun
Muli
- a male given name
Usage notes
- Sakizaya personal name is composed of: given name + parent's name (often father's name)+ o (genitive marker) + family name, e.g. Tuku Tiway o Sayun.
