Julinka is in Origin.

Julinka is a Slavic diminutive of Julia/Júlia/Yulia, built with the affectionate suffix -inka common in Czech, Slovak, Russian, and Ukrainian. The root name ultimately traces to the Roman family name Julius, probably from Latin Iulus/Ioulos, “downy, soft-haired,” hence the popular gloss “youthful.” Through saints named Julia and Juliana, the name entered Christian Europe and spread widely, spawning numerous local forms.

Traditionally Julinka functioned as a pet form used within families and in literature across Central and Eastern Europe, especially in Czech and Slovak contexts and in East Slavic usage alongside Yulenka. In recent decades it is occasionally recorded as an independent given name, though far less common than Julia/Júlia/Yulia. Related forms and variants include Julia, Júlia, Julie, Yulia, Iulia, Giulia, Juliana/Julijana; other diminutives are Julka, Jule, Yulya, and Yulenka.
