Jules as a name
Jules is a unisex given name of French origin, and it is derived from the Latin name “Julius,” which means “youthful” or “downy-bearded.” Jules is a popular name in France, and it is often used as a nickname for both boys and girls named Julien or Julia.
In English-speaking countries, Jules is more commonly used as a name for boys than for girls. The name gained popularity in the United States in the late 19th century and early 20th century, but it has since declined in usage.
Notable people named Jules include Jules Verne, the French author famous for his adventure novels, and Jules Rimet, the French football administrator who is credited with founding the FIFA World Cup.
