Julious is of Latin origin, derived from Julius, which means "downy-bearded" or "of the Julian family". It was a popular name among the ancient Romans and is still used today, albeit less frequently than in centuries past. The name has a historic and regal feel to it, invoking images of ancient Roman emperors and senators. Despite its rarity today, Julious remains a unique and distinguished choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet timeless name for their child.
The name Julious experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable increase from the late 1910s to the early 1940s, peaking at 36 births in 1919 and 39 births in 1930. However, it seems to have largely fallen out of favor since the mid-20th century, with fewer than 10 births per year recorded from 1954 onwards, and consistently low numbers in recent years (7 births or fewer per year from 2008 to present).
