The name Julian is both a boy’s name and a girl’s name of English, Latin origin meaning “youthful, downy-bearded, or sky father”. Julian was derived from Iulianus, which in turn came from Julius, a Roman family name. Its origin is shrouded in history, but possible roots include Latin iuvenis, meaning “youthfu”; Greek ioulos, meaning “downy-bearded”; or Jovis, a form of Jupiter, which means “sky father”.
