Origin
Meaning and origin of Julmice
The surname Julmice has its origins in the historical region of Normandy in northern France, dating back to the 11th century. The name is derived from the Old French word "jul," meaning "yoke," and "mice," meaning "mouse." It is believed to have been a descriptive surname given to someone who worked with oxen or had a physical resemblance to a mouse.
Some of the earliest recorded instances of the Julmice surname can be found in medieval French records and manuscripts. For example, a certain Robert Julmice was mentioned in the Cartulaire de l'Abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a collection of charters from the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey in Paris, dating back to the year 1152.
In the 13th century, a man named Raoul Julmice was recorded as a landowner in the village of Avranches, located in the Normandy region. His name appears in the Livre des Vassaux, a feudal register of landholders from that time.
During the 14th century, the Julmice surname began to spread beyond Normandy, with records showing individuals bearing the name in other parts of France, as well as in England and the Netherlands. One notable example is Jean Julmice, a French merchant who settled in London in the late 1300s and established a successful trading business.
In the 15th century, a branch of the Julmice family emerged in the Netherlands, particularly in the province of Zeeland. A Dutch soldier named Dirk Julmice fought in the Eighty Years' War against Spain, and his exploits were documented in several contemporary chronicles.
As the centuries passed, the Julmice surname continued to spread and evolve, with various spellings and variations appearing in different regions. Some notable individuals with this surname include:
1. Étienne Julmice (1547-1619), a French philosopher and theologian from Rouen.
2. Jacobus Julmice (1628-1702), a Dutch painter and engraver known for his landscapes and portraits.
3. Marie-Antoinette Julmice (1756-1793), a French aristocrat who was executed during the Reign of Terror.
4. William Julmice (1812-1879), an English naturalist and explorer who traveled extensively in Africa and Asia.
5. Émile Julmice (1875-1942), a French composer and pianist known for his chamber music and piano compositions.

The bar chart below shows how Julmice bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Julmice surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
