What Does the Name Jyllian Mean?
Jyllian is an English spelling variant of Jillian, a feminine name derived from Julian. Julian comes from the Latin family name Julianus, a form of Julius. The usual gloss for Jillian and its variants is "youthful," but the sense of Julius itself is not fully settled: one common explanation connects it with Latin iuvenis ("young"), while another derives it from Greek ioulos ("downy-bearded"). Because Julius was a Roman clan name, its original descriptive meaning is uncertain; the gloss is customary rather than a securely documented translation.
