Juliya is Latin in Origin.

Juliya is a modern transliteration-based variant of Julia, the feminine form of the ancient Roman family name Julius (Latin Iulia). The root is often linked to Greek ioulos "soft, downy hair," giving the sense of "youthful" or "soft-haired," though ties to Jupiter are also proposed. In Slavic languages the name is written Юлия; rendering this into Latin script yields Yulia, Yuliya, Iuliia, or Juliya, whose -iya ending mirrors the Cyrillic -ия.

Use of Juliya surfaces in Eastern European and post-Soviet diasporas and in global contexts favoring phonetic spellings; the core name, however, has been widespread since antiquity - borne by women of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and saints such as Julia of Corsica - and enjoyed broad European revival in the 19th-20th centuries. International variants include Julia, Iulia, Yulia/Yuliya, Julija (South Slavic), Júlia (Portuguese/Spanish/Catalan), Giulia (Italian), Julie (French), and Xulia (Galician). Diminutives include Yulya, Julie, Lia, and Jules.
