The surname JULIUSSEN has its origins in Norway, dating back to the 11th century. It is a patronymic name, derived from the personal name Julius, which itself comes from the Roman family name Julius, meaning "downy-bearded" or "youth". The suffix "-sen" is a common Scandinavian patronymic ending, meaning "son of".

In the 13th century, a Juliussen family is recorded as owning land in the Hardanger region of western Norway, near the town of Odda. This may be the source of the name's earliest connection to a specific place.
