Guilio is Italian in Origin.

Guilio is a rare, contemporary respelling of the Italian given name Giulio, ultimately from the Latin gentilicium Iulius (Julius). The name’s root is debated: some trace it to Greek ioulos, “soft down, youthful,” while others connect it to Iovis (Jove), yielding the sense “devoted to Jove.” As a result, Guilio is typically glossed as “youthful” or “of Jupiter.”

The Guilio form appears sporadically in records, largely in anglophone settings or as a transcription slip for Giulio. The standard Italian form is Giulio; cognates include Spanish Julio, Portuguese Júlio, French Jules, and English Julius and Julian; related Italian forms are Giuliano and diminutives like Lio or Giuli. Notable bearers of the traditional spelling include the painter-architect Giulio Romano and composer Giulio Caccini; Julius Caesar is known in Italian as Giulio Cesare. Pronunciations vary: English speakers may say GWEEL-yo, while the Italian Giulio sounds JOO-lyo.
