The name Julius is of Latin origin and means 'downy-haired' or 'young'. It was traditionally used by the ancient Romans, often as a family name. The name gained prominence during the Roman Empire, notably through figures such as Julius Caesar, who was born Gaius Julius Caesar but is widely known by his cognomen, Julius.
The name Julia has seen varying popularity over the past century, with a noticeable spike in the early 2000s and again around 2006-2008. The highest number of Julias born in any year was 11 in 2006.
