Meaning & origin

Julion is a rare masculine name first recorded in the United States in 1913, during the decade of the 1910s. It reached its peak popularity that same year, though it has never been common. In the most recent data (2025), it ranked 9,714th nationally, with a frequency of 1 in 244,011 births. The name's trajectory has remained stable over the past century, with minimal variation in usage. While Julion has no recorded top states of popularity, its similarity to the more common Julian suggests it may appeal to parents seeking an uncommon variant of a classic name.

Julion is a rare variant of Julian, derived from the Roman family name Julianus, itself from Julius, likely related to the Latin 'iuvenis' meaning 'youthful'. The name appeared occasionally in the United States in the early 20th century, first recorded in 1913, but has never achieved widespread usage.
