According to moikrewni.pl surname map:

Other towns include see below

Hot spots are in Southern Poland for that surname.

So are you sure its Bula and not Buła?

It might be Buła (with a barred Ł) which in Polish would mean a large bun, loaf or by extension any large bulge. It can alłso mean an uncouth clod or bumpkin (redneck in Americanese). Entirely by coincidence the term is also used as a translation of bull (papal bull), meaning an authoritative document issued by the Supreme Pontiff. That latter seems the least likely soruce of your name.
