Junaid no difference the name can be written as Koul or Kaul. The word is from Sanskrit. My family name is Magrey. It origins are from Sanskrit Magasa (warrier). An indigeneous Kashmiri warrior tribe. Earlier people wrote Magasa like Ladda Magasa later it became Magrey.

Two variations of this name exist
Koul and Kaul. I am not aware of any difference between the two, but would like to know if there is a difference.

Kaul sirname means 'well born' and came from the priest or high priest background. Mahakaul or the great Kauls is another name for Lord Shiva, and this could also be one of the origins of this name.
There are Kauls in Germanic countries too and one of the drivations of the Germanic Kauls is from the Bishop or priests. Just a coincidence as they are other probable origins for the German Kauls. Of course Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is the most well known of Kauls.

The Kauls and the Dars are same . The high upper class in Kasmiri valley region. They werre the first who gave girls the freedom to educate nd read. Their girls were always free.until the crap happened. Pllease ppl dont change your sirnames oridentities.

Jawahar Lal Nehru was also a Kaul. His ancestor Raj Kaul was migrated from Kashmir. Reference to Raj Kaul can be found in Nehru's autobiography - Toward Freedom.
