Guiliano is Italian in Origin.

Guiliano is a rare variant spelling of the Italian given name Giuliano, ultimately from Latin Iulianus (Julianus), a derivative of Iulius, the Roman family name behind Julius and the Julian line. The name conveys “of the Julian clan” and, by folk etymology, “youthful; soft‑haired,” from Latin iulus, the first soft beard.

In Italy the standard form Giuliano has long use, bolstered by devotion to San Giuliano (St. Julian the Hospitaller) in the Middle Ages and by Renaissance figures such as Giuliano de’ Medici. Guiliano as a spelling appears chiefly in the diaspora, where it blends Italian roots with a Portuguese-like Gui-; it remains far less common than Giuliano. Cognates include Julian (English, German, Dutch, Polish), Julien (French), Julián (Spanish), Juliano/Julião (Portuguese), and Iulian (Romanian). Close variants are Giuliano and Iuliano; the diminutive Liano sometimes occurs.
