About Jules
Jules is one of the adorable boyish nicknames newly fashionable for girls. It's rarer than Billie, with a cool and casual feel. It's use in the popular TV series Euphoria - where the character of Jules Vaughn was portrayed by Hunter Schafer - brought this name into the spotlight.
TV personality Jules Asner made this middle-aged male name suddenly seem young and fresh and female, after having been an off-the radar-nickname for Julia and Julie. Author and wife of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver spells her name Jools, and we've also seen Joolz.
Pronounced JOOLZ.
As of October 2026, Jules ranked #2131 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1838 in 2017.
Editor's take: The name Jules is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "youthful; soft, downy".
