What is the meaning of the name Julianna ?

The baby name Julianna is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced joo-lee-AN-ə (IPA: /ˌdʒuːliˈænə/).

Julianna is Latin in Origin.

Julianna is the elaborated English form of Latin Juliana, the feminine of Julianus, itself from the Roman family name Julius. The name’s sense is commonly given as "youthful" or "soft-haired," echoing Greek ioulos ("downy hair"), with a classical association to the Julian clan’s mythic descent from Iulus and Jupiter. Revered martyrs such as Saint Juliana of Nicomedia carried the name, helping it spread through late antiquity and the medieval church across Europe.

Forms and cognates include Juliana, Juliane (German/Scandinavian), Giuliana/Giulianna (Italian), Yuliana/Iuliana (Slavic and Romanian), and Xuliana (Galician). The double-n spelling Julianna rose in English during the Renaissance revival of classical names and saw renewed popularity in North America from the late 20th century. Diminutives and short forms range from Julia, Julie, Juli, Ana, and Lia to Jules. Related but distinct is Julianne, a blend of Julie and Anne rather than a direct Latin form.
