About the name Julho

The origin of the first name Julho is uncertain. The spelling is that of the Portuguese word julho, 'July', the seventh month of the civil year, which Wiktionary gives as inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese julio or jullo and, further back, from Latin Iulius; the same Latin gave, by learned transmission, the name Júlio, which Wiktionary points to as a divergent form of julho. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 7,463 people named Julho, with a median age of 33. The name is almost always male and, proportionally, it is most common in Rio Grande do Norte.
