History • Special:AllPages/Julie
The first appearance of Julie in a popular non-French lit-
erary work occurred with Swedish playwright August
Strindberg’s tragedy Miss Julie in 1888. As it became one
of the most widely performed plays in the English-speak-
ing world, the choice of Julie as a name expanded along
with it.
