About the name Juliano

Wiktionary lists Juliano as a learned borrowing from the Latin Iūliānus, a doublet of Julião, and the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) explains it as Iulio plus the suffix -anus, 'relating to Julius'. The origin of the Roman name Iūlius is uncertain: Wiktionary gives as possibilities a link to Jupiter (Jove) or to the Greek ἴουλος, a young man's first beard, and the dictionary points to the Greek for 'sparse, soft beard' as probable. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 111,114 people named Juliano, with a median age of 35. Proportionally, it is most common in Rio Grande do Sul. The feminine is Juliana.
