Juliia
Juliia is Julia with one extra letter, the shape Ukrainian Юлія takes once you write it in Latin script. It carries the Roman name Iulius and its sense of youthful, and stays rare here: fewer than 300 women in Poland answer to it.
Juliia Pronunciation
Juliia is pronounced YOOLY-yah (/ˈjuljja/).
What Juliia means
Where Juliia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Juliia grows from Latin soil. Behind it stands the Roman family name Iulius, and from that root comes the short meaning printed in name books today: youthful. The plainer variant, Julia, is the form most Poles recognise first.
The extra i belongs to Ukraine. Juliia is what the name looks like when Юлія crosses from Cyrillic into Latin letters, and there it names teachers and grandmothers, nothing exotic about it.
Shorten the name and you reach Julka, the diminutive a small girl answers to. On a school register in Kraków, a Juliia would sit a line away from Julia, the two of them almost the same word. The link to youth, to being młoda, was read into the Latin over centuries, though the family name came first. What stays constant is the root: Iulius, and the sense of youthful pinned to it.
