Julian

Julian is a common male given name in Australia, Britain, United States, Ireland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France (as Julien), Spain, Latin America (as Julián and Juliano) and elsewhere.

The name literally means, in Latin, "belonging to Julius", hence its use for the Julian calendar introduced by Julius Caesar. Some families have taken it as a female name, possibly due to the influence of the French feminine form, Julienne.
