Julius
Julius comes from the Roman family name "Iulius" — possibly derived from "Iulus" (downy-bearded, youthful) or from "Iuppiter" (Jupiter). The Julian family produced Julius Caesar (100-44 BCE), the dictator who was assassinated on the Ides of March and whose death led to the end of the Roman Republic. The month of July is named after him. Julius was a top-200 American name from 1880 to 1980, peaking at #83 in 1918. Julius (the painter Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, 1794-1872) gave the name artistic weight. Julius (the actor Julius "Jules" Munshin, 1922-1970) gave the name Hollywood visibility. Julius (the inventor of the integrated circuit, Jack Kilby, born 1923 — wait, that's incorrect; Jack Kilby was the inventor, not Julius). I find Julius has a serious, slightly classical quality — the "J" opening is firm, and the "ius" ending gives it a Latin finish. The nickname Jules (as in Jules Verne, 1828-1905, the author of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea") lightens it considerably. Julius is a male name of Latin origin that means "Youthful, downy-bearded". Serious, classical, and historic. The name sounds regal. Juliuses tend to be capable. US peaked #83 in 1918. Now top 500. Well-known people named Julius include Julius Caesar (Roman dictator), Jules Verne (author), Julius (Roman name), Julius (fictional, various).
