Julyn. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin Iūlius; French juile, jule. Etymology: Originally < classical Latin Iūlius (see below); in later use (especially in β. forms) also < Anglo-Norman juile, Anglo-Norman and Old French juil, julie, Old French jul, Old French, Middle French jule, julle (1119; compare Old French, Middle French, French juillet , of distinct origin: see Quatorze Juillet n.) < classical Latin Iūlius , use as noun (short for mēnsis Iūlius month of July) of masculine of Iūlius of July < Iūlius , the name of Julius Caesar (see Julian adj.). Compare Old Occitan juli (second half of the 12th cent.), Catalan †juyl (c1400; compare juliol, †juyol (second half of the 13th cent.)), Spanish julio (late 12th cent.), Portuguese julho (1255), Italian luglio (1211, with assimilation of the initial consonant); also Middle Dutch julius, jule (Dutch juli), Middle Low German Julius, German Juli (16th cent. as Julius), Swedish juli (16th cent. as julius).In the ancient Roman calendar this was the fifth month and thus called Quīntīlis quintile n.3; it was renamed in 44 b.c. to honour Julius Caesar because it was the month of his birth. In Old English and Middle English texts Latin Iulius is often used for the month (in Old English (and early Middle English) sometimes alongside the vernacular name Æfterra Līða (Efterliðe ) Afterlithe n.), e.g.:OE Byrhtferð Enchiridion (Ashm.)

The capital forms of the letters J and I were not normally distinguished until the 17th cent. (compare discussion at J n.). The word was usually stressed on the first syllable in the early modern period, as the form July-flower , due to folk etymology (see γ forms at gillyflower n.), implies. The orthoepists Peter Levins (1570) and Elisha Coles (late 17th cent.) both include the word among those which have unstressed -y, and Johnson (1755), W. Johnston Pronouncing & Spelling Dict. (1764), and J. Walker Dict. Answering Purposes of Rhyming (1775) all indicate stress on the first syllable (Johnston also marking the y as ‘long’). Both occurrences of the word in Shakespeare are so stressed, as are most metrical examples down to the late 18th cent. (compare quots. 1704 at α. , 1736 at α. , 1781 at Compounds 1). Stress on the first syllable still occasionally occurs in Scotland. the world > time > period > a month or calendar month > specific months > [noun] > July α. lOE (Laud) anno 1115 Her wæs se cyng Henri to Natiuiteð on Normandig;..& æfter þan syððan innon Iulies monðe hider into lande com. a1275 St. Margaret (Trin.
