Tulia
A newcomer in Poland: the first girls given it were born only in the late 2010s, and barely 60 people carry it now. At root it's Roman, from the Tullius family name. More girls got it last year than in its early years, so it's still climbing.
Tulia Pronunciation
Tulia is pronounced TOOL-yah (/ˈtulja/).
What Tulia means
Where Tulia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Tulia comes from Latin. The name traces to the gens Tullia, a Roman clan recorded across the years of the Republic. Its short meaning is exact: from the Roman family Tullius.
The most famous bearer of that family name was Marcus Tullius Cicero, the orator and consul. His daughter carried the feminine form, Tullia. Her father mourned her openly in his surviving letters. The name reached back further still, to Servius Tullius, counted as the sixth king of early Rome. Tulia already belonged to a real Roman woman two thousand years ago.
In a Polish class register, Tulia sits short and clear beside longer names. It keeps no diminutive of record here, no cross-gender twin. What stays is the plain sense it began with: from the family of Tullius.
When Tulia celebrates name day
Tulia appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 5 October.
