What does down-bearded mean?

The name Juilian (Julianne, etc) is a Welsh name meaning "down-bearded youth." However, this term is not included in the online dictionaries that I checked.

I would think it would imply a person with very light (in texture) hair -- similar to how young birds have downy feathers, young adolescent guys can have downy facial hair, or be "down-bearded youths"

It's not down like the direction down. It's down like Down-ey fabric softener. Soft & Fuzzy.

Make sense? :)
