Júlio is a boy’s name of Portuguese, Latin, and possibly Greek origin. It’s the Portuguese form of Julius, a Roman family name most famously borne by Julius Caesar. It may derive from the Latin Jovilius, meaning “devoted to Jove,” with Jove being another name for Jupiter, Roman god of the sky. Jove was also king of the gods in Roman mythology, making this a suitably impressive name for your little one! Alternatively, Julius may derive from the Greek word ioulos, meaning “downy-bearded.” The Spanish form of this name is Julio, while the French form is Jules. A famous bearer of the Portuguese form is Júlio César, the Brazilian former soccer player who played for Inter Milan.
