Meaning of the word "Juul" or "Juhl"

In both census and church records one generation of my family (the family of Anders Hansen) the children's names are sometimes followed by the word Juul or Juhl before the surname.  What does this mean?

Juul or Juhl is a name

[Ole Westermann]

The name Juul/Juel is seen mostly as a surname/middle name, but is also seen as a first name,
probably originated from 'jul' (christmas).
When a child is baptized with the name as a middle name, it often relates to person in the family
or in the local community.
