Globally, Houle (Hol
, 厚乐
, Houle
) is quite a rare largely male, but uncommonly feminine first name. The forename Houle is characteristic of Hong Kong, where it is a rare boy's name, Israel, where it is a rare female name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in India, China, and Ethiopia. More prevalently, Houle is the last name as well as the forename.
Houle is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hol Horse , the fictional character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
