Jillian is English in Origin.
Jillian is the modern English form of Gillian, the Middle English feminine of Julian, itself from Latin Iulianus, a name derived from the Roman family name Iulius. Through this line it carries the senses "youthful," "downy-bearded," or "belonging to the Julian clan." The J-spelling spread in the 20th century to reflect the soft-g pronunciation of Gillian and align the name with Jill.
Used widely in medieval England as Gillian (often pronounced like Jillian), the name later supplied the stock figure "Jill" in the rhyme "Jack and Jill." It re-emerged in North America in the 1970s-1990s, peaking then and settling into steady use. Common variants and diminutives include Gillian, Jill, Jilly, and, more rarely, Jilian; related international forms are Juliana, Juliane, and Giuliana. The masculine counterpart is Julian, and Jillian often connotes a timeless, sprightly character grounded in long European tradition.
