<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Julian is a name that goes back to Roman times and crosses cultures (with varientations). It was most often a male name, and used for females in more modern times. I will need to check when it was used first for a female name, but it was used at least as early as 1342 when Saint Julian of Norwich was named.</DIV>
