Julia
Julia feminine name in the Julian gens. 1 Died 54 BC, daughter of Julius Caesar and wife of Pompey . By her grace and tact she maintained the bond between her father and her husband. After her death the two statesmen became open enemies. 2 39 BC-AD 14, daughter of Augustus and wife, in turn, of Marcus Claudius Marcellus (d. 23 BC), Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, and Tiberius. Her infidelities caused her banishment by Augustus to Pandataria Island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Soon after Tiberius became emperor, she died of starvation. 3 18 BC-AD 28, daughter of Julia and Agrippa (see above); wife of Lucius Aemilius Paullus. Because of her licentious conduct, she was banished by Augustus to the island of Tremerus off the coast of Apulia, where she died. |

Julia
Julia ♀ Feminine form of the old Roman family name Julius. A woman called Julia is mentioned in Paul's Epistle to the Romans (Romans 16:15), and the name was borne by numerous early saints. Its frequency increased with the vogue for classical names in the 18th century, and it continues to enjoy considerable popularity, although the recent introduction of Julie to the English-speaking world has reduced this somewhat. Well-known bearers include the British actress Julia Foster (b. 1941) and American actress Julia Roberts (b. 1967 as Julie Fiona Roberts).
Cognates: Italian: Giulia. French: Julie. Czech: Julie. |
