About the name Júlia
Júlia comes from Latin Iulia, the feminine of Iulius, the name of a Roman family.

Wiktionary records Júlia as a learned borrowing from Latin Iūlia, and Behind the Name notes that the name Julia appears briefly in the New Testament. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 650,271 people named Júlia, with a median age of 14. Jhulia and Julya are among the spelling variants listed by the dictionary.
