Julien

Boy name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Julien: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2021.

A French and English form of Julian, Julien traces back to the Roman family name Julianus, ultimately derived from Julius, meaning "youthful" or "downy-bearded." One of the most famous bearers is the 12th-century St. Julien, a missionary and martyr venerated in both Scotland and France, though the name's most celebrated historical figure is the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate. The Scottish town of St. Julien's—now a district in Perth—takes its name from a church dedicated to the saint. In musical circles, Julien is associated with the French composer Julien Torma, but further afield, it's a popular first name in Quebec and across French-speaking regions.
