Julian is a common saint name. Saint Julian the Hospitaler was a saint from the Middle Ages and is the patron saint of travelers. Julian is rarely used as a female name; Julian of Norwich, the only famous female bearer of this name, only bore this name because she was an anchoress at the church of the aforementioned male St Julian. Her true name has been lost to history.

Notable Julians include actor Julian McMahon, guitarist Julian Bream, comedian Julian Clary and cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. Julian Kirrin is the oldest member of Enid Blyton's 'Famous Five'.

It was the 10th most popular name in Austria in 2006.
