Julia: Girls Baby Name Meaning

Julia Baby Name

The name Julia means ‘youthful, soft haired’.

Julia is the Latin female form of an Old Roman family name Julius (from the gens Julia) derived from the Latin ‘Iovilios’ meaning ‘pertaining to or descended from Jove’.  Jove being another name for the Roman god Jupiter who was the patron deity of ancient Rome ruling over laws and social order. 

Alternatively, Julius was borrowed from the Greek ‘ioulos’ meaning ‘downy-bearded’ or ‘soft-haired’. Thus, Julia is often associated with the quality of ‘youthfulness’ due to the young age at which a man grows the first soft hairs on his chin (‘juvenilis’ is Latin for ‘youthful’). 

The Julius family of ancient Rome was among the most prominent among the patrician class and claimed direct descent from the mythological Julus (son of Aeneas and ancestor to Romulus & Remus, the legendary founders of Rome in the 8th century B.C.). 

The name Julia shows up in the New Testament briefly [Romans 16:15] as a person greeted by Paul, and it was a name borne by several medieval saints.

Famous people who share the name Julia:

Julia Roberts, actress; Julia, lady’s maid of Queen Christina of Sweden in Rome, alleged clairvoyant and predictor; Julia Carter Aldrich, American author.
