It is believed to have derived from the Italian phrase "di Giulio," which translates to "of Julius" or "son of Julius." This suggests that the name may have been originally given to someone who was a descendant or follower of a man named Julius, possibly a Roman emperor or influential figure.

A prominent figure named Cesare DIGIULIO, born in 1428, was a renowned architect who contributed to the design and construction of several churches and palaces in the city during the Renaissance period.

As the surname spread throughout Italy, it also developed variations in spelling, such as DiGiulio, Di Giulio, and De Giulio, reflecting regional dialects and customs. One notable bearer of the name was the Italian painter and sculptor Vincenzo DIGIULIO, born in 1506 in the city of Florence, who is renowned for his religious artwork and frescoes adorning various churches in Tuscany.
