Julie

Julie is the French and Danish feminine form of the Latin name Julia, itself the feminine of Julius, a Roman family name possibly derived from the Greek word ioulos, meaning downy-bearded or soft-haired, though some scholars connect it to the name of the god Jupiter. The name was borne by several early Christian saints and was widely popularized across Europe through French cultural influence. Closely related forms include Julia, Juliet, Giulia, and Juliana, all sharing the same classical Roman root.
