Meaning

An undeniably regal name, Julius is a great choice for a boy! With its roots going back to Roman times, and the ruler Julius Caesar, the name originally means either ‘devoted to the god Jove’, or ‘youthful’. Shorten it to Jules for a punchy and modern alternative version, or use it in its full version to exude power and confidence.
