Julei is in Origin.

Julei is a rare modern respelling of Julie, the French/English short form of Julia. Julia derives from Latin Iulia, the feminine of Julius, name of a prominent Roman gens. Its meaning is often glossed as "youthful"; some etymologists relate it to Latin iulus "soft, downy beard," hence "downy; youthful." In use since antiquity, Julia has been enduring across Europe; Julie became well established in early modern France and entered English in the 17th and 18th centuries, peaking in many countries in the mid to late 20th century. Julei remains uncommon, appearing sporadically in Anglophone and international records.

Variants and cognates include Julie, Juli, Julee, Juley, Julia, Giulia (Italian), Yulia/Yuliya (Slavic), Julia (Portuguese, Hungarian), and related forms Juliet/Juliette, Juliana, Julianne; nicknames Jules, Ju, Lia. Julei offers a fresh visual and may suggest a joo-LAY ending in some languages while preserving the classical Julia/Julie lineage and its "youthful, downy" sense.
