The surname Julander is believed to have originated in Scandinavia, possibly Sweden or Norway, in the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from an Old Norse word meaning "Yule" or "Christmas," potentially indicating that the original bearer of the name was born or worked during the Yuletide season.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Julander surname can be found in the Swedish historical records from the late 16th century. These records mention a man named Erik Julander, who lived in the village of Tuna, located in the Swedish province of Småland.

In the 17th century, the name appeared in various church records and parish registers across Sweden and Norway. For example, a man named Nils Julander was born in the village of Bräkne-Hoby, Sweden, in 1632, while a woman named Inger Julander was recorded in the parish of Skoger, Norway, in 1678.

The Julander name has also been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. One such figure was Johan Julander, a Swedish composer and organist born in 1744 in the city of Linköping. He is known for his contributions to church music and organ compositions.

Another prominent Julander was Carl Gustaf Julander, a Swedish military officer and politician who lived from 1788 to 1864. He served in the Swedish army during the Napoleonic Wars and later became a member of the Swedish parliament.

In the 19th century, the Julander surname began to spread beyond Scandinavia as families emigrated to other parts of the world. One notable example is Jens Julander, a Norwegian-American farmer and businessman born in 1835 in Norway. He later settled in Minnesota, USA, and became a successful landowner and community leader.
