The reason that you have to follow a long trail for Jillian is that it is descended - via a long trail - from Julius. It has the same meaning as all names that are descended from Julius: "downy-bearded". It definitely doesn't mean "young pearl". Some people interpret the meaning of Julius as meaning "young" (as it is young men who have downy beards) but that is an extrapolation not a literal meaning.
