What is the meaning of the name July ?

The baby name July is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒʊˈlaɪ/ (juh-LY).

July is Latin in Origin.

July is an English given name taken from the month, which in turn descends from Latin Iulius, the mensis Iulius (“month of Julius”), renamed in 44 BCE to honor Julius Caesar after his calendar reform. The root Iulius is traditionally linked either to Greek ioulos “soft down, youthful” or to a Latin formation meaning “devoted to Jove,” so July carries associations of youthfulness and Jupiter’s favor.

As a personal name, July appears in English records from the late 19th century with other calendar names. It is unisex but skews feminine in modern use and is popular for midsummer births. Variant spellings are uncommon; Julye exists, and July can shorten Julia, Juliet, or Juliana. Related forms include Julie, Juliette, Julian, Julius, Julio, and Jules; month cognates include French Juillet, Italian Luglio, and Portuguese Julho.
