Origin & history of Juliana
Latin Julius (youthful)
→ Julianus
→ feminine Juliana
1
Latin roots
Juliana is the feminine form of Julianus, the extended form of Julius. It carries all the Julian dynasty's weight (Julius Caesar, Emperor Augustus) with an extra syllable of Latin formality. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands (1909–2004) reigned from 1948 to 1980 and was beloved for cycling through Amsterdam and sending her children to public schools. Julian of Norwich (c. 1343–c. 1416) was an English mystic whose Revelations of Divine Love is the first known book written by a woman in English. Her famous words All shall be well resonate across centuries.
