The name Julius was a prominent Roman family name, borne by several notable figures in Roman history, including Julius Caesar. It is believed to be derived from the Latin word 'iuvenis', meaning 'young'.

In French, the name Jules became popular during the Middle Ages and has been in use ever since. It has also been adopted in other languages, such as English and German.

While Jules is primarily used as a masculine name, it has sometimes been given to girls as well, particularly in French-speaking regions.
