Juliya is of Latin origin, meaning 'youthful' or 'downy'. It is derived from the Latin word 'Iulius', which was itself derived from the ancient Roman family name 'Iulus'. This name gained popularity through its association with Julius Caesar, one of history's most influential figures. Juliya has a unique and elegant sound, while still being easy to pronounce and spell, making it a popular choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet appealing name.
"Over the span of two decades (1998-2022), the name Juliya saw its popularity peak around the mid-2000s with a high of 21 births in 2005, followed by another spike at 20 births in 2006. However, it appears that since then, the name has declined significantly, with only 6 or fewer Juliya births occurring annually from 2014 onwards."
