English Dictionary: Julian Bond by the DICT Development Group
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Julian \Jul"ian\ (?; 277) a. [L. Julianus, fr. Julius. Cf.
      {July}, {Gillian}.]
      Relating to, or derived from, Julius C[91]sar.
  
      {Julian calendar}, the calendar as adjusted by Julius
            C[91]sar, in which the year was made to consist of 365
            days, each fourth year having 366 days.
  
      {Julian epoch}, the epoch of the commencement of the Julian
            calendar, or 46 b. c.
  
      {Julian period}, a chronological period of 7,980 years,
            combining the solar, lunar, and indiction cycles (28 x 19
            x 15 = 7,980), being reckoned from the year 4713 B. C.,
            when the first years of these several cycles would
            coincide, so that if any year of the period be divided by
            28, 19, or 15, the remainder will be the year of the
            corresponding cycle. The Julian period was proposed by
            Scaliger, to remove or avoid ambiguities in chronological
            dates, and was so named because composed of Julian years.
           
  
      {Julian year}, the year of 365 days, 6 hours, adopted in the
            Julian calendar, and in use until superseded by the
            Gregorian year, as established in the reformed or
            Gregorian calendar.
