Juha-Ville is Finnish in Origin.

Juha-Ville is a Finnish double given name, written with a hyphen, combining Juha, a Finnish short form of Johannes/John, and Ville, the Finnish form of Vilhelm/William. Juha ultimately derives from Hebrew Yohanan, "Yahweh is gracious," while Ville comes from Germanic elements wil "will, desire" + helm "helmet, protection," yielding "resolute protector." Together, the blended sense reads "God is gracious, a resolute protector" or simply "gracious protector".

Compound first names of this type are common in Finland, notably among boys from the 1970s to 1990s; Juha-Ville occurs but remains rare compared with the standalone components. In records, the hyphenated pair is treated as a single first name. Variants and related forms include Juho, Juhani, Johan, Johannes; Ville, Vili, Vilho, Viljami; the reversed compound Ville-Juha; and the unhyphenated pairing Juha Ville as two separate given names. Nicknames may shorten to Juha, Ville, Juhis, or Vili; an English analogue is John William.
