Julie-Ann

Girl name · 98 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Julie-Ann: 98 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 1979.

A charming compound name, Julie-Ann brings together two enduring classics: Julie, the French and English feminine form of Julius, a Roman family name thought to mean “youthful” or “downy-bearded,” and Ann, the English version of Hannah, from the Hebrew for “grace” or “favour.” While the double-barrelled spelling is less common among famous figures, the individual components shine through Julie Andrews, the beloved Mary Poppins and Sound of Music star, and Ann as used by literary heroine Anne Shirley. No specific place carries the hyphenated version, but both Julie and Ann have been popular in Scotland for generations. The name peaked in popularity north of the border during the 1970s and 80s, reflecting a broader trend for linked first names that feel both classic and distinctive.
