| has gloss | eng: The term JuLis may also refer to the political organisation Young Liberals of Germany Julis (, ) is a Druze village and local council in the North District of Israel. Opinions differ as to the source of the village's name. One opinion attributes it to the Roman name Julius - a Roman commander supposedly camped in the area. What seems to be Roman relics have been found in places within and around the village, but no real effort to verify these claims had been made. Another opinion for the source of the name attributes it back to the Arabic word for "sitting" - "jalis", as it is located on lower hills than the surrounding villages, and thus seems to be sitting. History One of the oldest families in the village dates back to 1500 years ago, which implies that the village has been around for that length of time at least. Some claim that the village was founded in the 16th century, but that seems not to be accurate. |
