Where this word comes from
Learned borrowing from Latin Iūliānus (“Roman personal name”), shortened by the loss of the Latin nominative ending -us. The Latin name was derived from Latin Iūlius (“Julius”) with the relational suffix -ānus (“belonging to, connected with”), and originally denoted someone belonging to or descended from the Roman gens Julia. The ultimate origin of Iūlius is uncertain; see Julius. Compare Danish Julian, Swedish Julian, German Julian, English Julian, French Julien, Spanish Julián and Italian Giuliano (“male given name”).
