Julio Cesar is Spanish in Origin.

Julio Cesar is a compound Spanish and Portuguese given name honoring the Roman statesman Gaius Julius Caesar. Julio derives from Latin Iulius, the name of the Julian clan, often linked to Greek ioulos “downy, youthful,” yielding senses like “youthful” or “soft‑haired.” Cesar comes from Latin Caesar, of debated origin - commonly explained as “hairy/with abundant hair” (caesaries) or connected to “cut” (caedere); by extension it became the imperial title “Caesar.” Together, the pairing suggests noble lineage and leadership.

Firmly established across the Iberian world and Latin America, it surged in the 20th century through cultural and sports figures.
