The history of the last name St. Julian

The surname STJULIAN has its origins in the Norman French language. It is derived from the old French phrase "Saint Julien", which refers to the Christian saint Julian of Le Mans. The name likely originated in the late 11th century, around the time of the Norman conquest of England in 1066.

The earliest known bearers of the STJULIAN surname were from the Channel Islands, particularly the island of Jersey. The name appears in records from this region as early as the 12th century. Over time, variations in spelling emerged, such as St. Julian, St. Julien, and Saintjulian.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the STJULIAN surname was Sir Geoffrey STJULIAN, a Norman knight who fought alongside William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was later granted lands in Staffordshire, England, where the family name became established.

In the 13th century, a prominent member of the STJULIAN family was Sir Robert STJULIAN, who served as the Sheriff of Dorset in 1245. He is mentioned in various medieval charters and records from that time period.

During the 14th century, the STJULIAN surname appears in the Hundred Rolls, a census-like record of landholders in England. One entry lists a John STJULIAN as holding lands in the village of Stoke St. Julian, near Taunton in Somerset.

In the 16th century, a notable figure was Sir Walter STJULIAN, a renowned sea captain and explorer who sailed with Sir Francis Drake on his expeditions to the West Indies. Sir Walter was born in 1548 and died in 1603.

Another prominent individual was Elizabeth STJULIAN, a poet and playwright who lived in London during the Elizabethan era. She was active in literary circles and her works were published between 1590 and 1612.
