Julie
- A female given name from French Julie, equivalent to English Julia. Popular in the latter half of the 20th century.
1813, George Crabbe, “Tracy”, in Adolphus William Ward, editor, Poems by George Crabbe, The University Press, published 1907, page 455:The first-born Child had every dawning Grace / And promis'd Beauty in her form and face. / "We'll call her Julie if you please, my dear," / The Mother cry'd, "I doat on Julie Vere." / "What! no Remembrance of her Aunt! for Shame! / You doat indeed! be Barbara her name!"
1917, Grace Flandrau, Cousin Julia, D. Appleton and Company, page 3:"I loathe the name of Julia. Julie, in the French way, is quite pretty, but Julia! - "
"Call her Cousin Julie then; I've no doubt she'll prefer it. She's nothing if not progressive, I believe."
2000, Jayne Anne Phillips, Mother Kind, page 156:They were called Jim & Julie, professionally. It seemed such a waste to deal in fantasy, in illusion and pretend, and not christen one's endeavor more suggestively. Kate wondered if their real names were Letitia and Sylvester, or Cleopatra and Mandrake; perhaps they'd gone undercover with white-bread names in quest of posh children's parties and Yankee suitability.
- (rare) A diminutive of the female given name Julia.
