About Julijan
Croatian in origin, Julijan derives from "Julian," a name steeped in both Latin and Greek roots. One theory suggests a Late Latin etymology, where it means "youthful."
Another theory traces its origins to Proto Indo-European and Latin, where it may have derived from "djew > iou-pater > Juppĭtĕr," referencing the supreme Roman god, Jupiter, the king of the gods and ruler of the sky and thunder.
Lastly, some believe Julijan may stem from the Ancient Greek "Íoulos (ἴουλος)," meaning "haired" or "bearded." The Roman interpretation of this name is "sacred to Jupiter." The month of July, named after Gaius Julius Caesar, also bears this etymological connection.
