History of the origin of the name Julius

The name comes from an ancient Greek word, which in a modern way can be read as “yulos” with a literal translation of “curly”, “fluffy-bearded”. The name has its own legend: it comes from the name of the epic Roman hero – the historical character Yul Ascanius. He, together with his father Aeneas, escaped from Troy, which had a second name – Ilion. The hero’s contemporaries began to add it to the original name Askanius, shortening it to the word “yul.”

Ascanius, having become the founder of a separate family, perpetuated the name Julius as a Roman family name. All representatives of the “Julian clan” considered themselves descendants of the gods, since according to legend, the mother of Aeneas was the goddess Venus. The sacred genealogy has always helped the descendants of the family to maintain autocracy during the reign and gave the most famous Julius – the famous Caesar.

In the Orthodox calendar there is no record of the original name; one should focus on July 4 – the date of the Orthodox name day of Julia.
