I think it is pretty clear that those saying it is a feminine name have absolutely no idea how to pronounce it or where its origins are from. I mean I'm not surprised since apparently this is a place where people think "Ryan" and "Cameron" are female names.

Julian is pronounced Jew-lien and it is as masculine as it gets. And to the one girl who said her name is Julian- I'm sorry but your mother is totally at fault. She may as well have called you Simon or James. Julian is NOT a woman's name, never has been and never will be.

Portuguese form is Juliano (pron. Zhuw-lee-AHN-nu). [noted -ed]

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Julian who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 423rd most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.

Historically, this name was used more on girls than boys. In the late 1500's the name Julian was one of the top 50 names given to girls, and while used for boys at the time too, it was less popular. It became predominantly male later on.

Girls should NEVER be named Julian. It is a strong man's name. It makes a woman lose all femininity. Stop it.

Although Juliaan is the authentic, native Dutch form (originally, Latin names ending in -ianus always became -iaan in Dutch), it is not used as often in The Netherlands as Julian. Juliaan is rare nowadays, whereas Julian is quite popular and has been steadily gaining in popularity since the early '90s. In fact, in 2011 the name Julian was at its most popular ever: that year, 601 newborn boys were given this name.

As such, 'Dutch' should also be listed in the 'Usage' section for this name. :)
