Girl name · 107 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Julie-Anne: 107 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 11 births in 1976.

Julie-Anne pairs two classic names, tracing its first element to the Roman family name Julius, meaning "youthful" or "downy-bearded," while Anne derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favour." Among famous bearers, Saint Julie-Anne is less common than its components, but the double name gained visibility through Julie-Anne St. John, an acclaimed Australian author and television presenter. No major place directly commemorates the hyphenated form, though the roots appear widely: Julius lends its name to July and Julius Caesar, while Anne appears in countless place names like Annapolis and Saint Anne’s Bay. This compound style remains particularly popular in Scotland and Francophone regions, reflecting a tradition of honouring both parents or grandmothers. The name peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, evoking a charmingly no-nonsense, slightly romantic feel.
