History & Origin
Giuliano is the Italian Julian — from the Roman clan Julius, traditionally tied to iulus, 'downy-bearded, youthful' — gilded by the Medici: Lorenzo the Magnificent's murdered brother and his nephew, Duke of Nemours, whose tomb Michelangelo sculpted. Modern Italy keeps it current from cinema to football.
In the U.S. it is a rare Italian-heritage grandee, with Giulio and plain Julian as neighbors. Three syllables of Florence.
