[edit] Move proposal

Since most of the references to Julian in the "What links here" are for Julian the Apostate, I propose the Julian redirect to Julian the Apostate, instead of to this disambiguation page.

  • Support. --Commander Keane 04:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Julian (disambiguation) is the sensible title for a disambiguation page. --Wetman 08:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. There is not enough evidence that Julian the Apostate is the primary meaning as per WP:D. └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 12:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Support., It will get the term Apostate, off Iulianus' article. Also a Roman Emperor should preside over other Julians Thegreyanomaly 07:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning

It is a well known fact that the name Julian derives from the latin name giulio. It refers to a disgustingly sexy and attractive guy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.104.248.102 (talk) 01:17, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

No... Julian comes from the Latin name Iulianus. Giulio comes from Iulianus. Thegreyanomaly 05:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

That aside, where does that thing about "the Latin element related to the meaning 'sky.'" come from? It sounds rather speculative, and I've never heard it before. Anyone care to give a source for that etymological tidbit? Tarchon 20:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganised

The names were in no logical order, and one of them came in twice.

There are also four that link to nothing - should they go? --GwydionM 13:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
