Names That Mean Young
Julian, Juliana and Giulia all descend from a Roman family name that came to mean youthful, Owen and Evan are “young warrior” in Welsh, Lionel is “young lion”, Cora and Imogen both mean maiden, and Tarun is young and fresh in Sanskrit. Names that mean young have an evergreen quality, which is fitting: whoever wears one stays the youngest person in the room in their parents’ eyes for good.
