Julian is a common male given name in the United States, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands (as Juliaan), France (as Julien), Italy (as Giuliano), Russia [Iulian (Yulian)][2] Spain, Latin America (as Julián in Spanish and Juliano or Julião in Portuguese), Iulian in Romanian and elsewhere.

The name is based on the Roman name Julianus, which was derived from Julius. This was the name of the Roman emperor Julian (4th century). It was also borne by several early saints, including the legendary Saint Julian the Hospitaller. This name has been used in England since the Middle Ages, at which time it was also a feminine name (from Juliana, eventually becoming Gillian).[3]
