A feminine given name, French form of Julia.
From French, derived from Latin 'Julia,' the feminine form of 'Julius.' The Roman family name Julius possibly comes from 'iovilius' meaning 'descended from Jupiter' or from Greek 'ioulos' meaning 'downy-bearded.'
Julie became enormously popular in English-speaking countries during the 1960s-70s, partly due to actress Julie Andrews and the musical 'Julie.' The name represents the French influence on English naming conventions during this period.
