Julis is of Latin origin, meaning "youthful" or "downy". It is derived from the Latin word "iulus", which refers to a young person or a young hedgehog. The name Julis was used in ancient Rome as a praenomen, or first name, and it has since been adopted by various cultures around the world. One of the most notable historical figures with this name is Julius Caesar, who played a significant role in the events leading up to the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. Today, Julis remains a unique and distinctive given name, often used as an alternative to more traditional names like Julius or Julian.
Julis was quite popular in 1983 with five babies bearing this unique name born that year.
