The Bouillon Legend
Rooted in the Old French bouille (marshland), the name shares its linguistic DNA with the town of Bouillon, Belgium. Tradition weaves a compelling narrative connecting the family to the house of Godfrey of Bouillon, the famed Crusader King.
While history confirms the linguistic evolution from "de Bouillon" to the archaic "de Bulhom" and finally Bulhões, the direct lineage remains a cherished legend—symbolizing the family's enduring spirit of faith and nobility that defined the Crusades.
A Journey Through Time
From the Crusades to the Age of Discovery and beyond, the name has been present in the annals of kingdoms and continents.
