Valuéjols (French pronunciation: [valɥeʒɔl]; Occitan: Valuèjol) is a commune in the département of Cantal in south-central France. The name originates from Latin Avaloiolum which originates from the Gaulish word "*avallo-ialon" which is made up of the Gaulish word *aballo- which means 'apple tree' compounded with another Gaulish word "ialon" which means a 'clearing'[3].
