Jule Origin and Meaning

The name Jule is a boy's name.

Jule is a masculine name with Germanic origins, functioning as a shortened form of Julius or Julian, which derive from ancient Roman family names possibly meaning 'downy-bearded' or connected to Jupiter. In German-speaking countries, Jule is also used as a feminine name, often as a nickname for Julia. In the United States, Jule has remained rare for boys, never reaching high popularity rankings. The name has a simple, strong quality with just one syllable, making it both distinctive and approachable. Its cross-cultural usage (appearing in German, Scandinavian, and English-speaking regions) gives it versatility, while its brevity creates a modern, unfussy impression despite its ancient roots.
