Meaning and history
Júlía is the feminine form of the Roman family name Julius. Notable women from this family include Julia Augusta, also known as Livia Drusilla, wife of Emperor Augustus, and Julia the Elder, Augustus’s daughter and Tiberius’s wife. The name is briefly mentioned in the New Testament and was borne by several early saints and martyrs, including the patron saint of Corsica. Shakespeare also used it in The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1594). It has been common as a given name in the English-speaking world only since the 18th century, and a well-known modern bearer is the American actress Julia Roberts (1967–).
