Yuliy is the East Slavic form of Julius, from Latin Iulius, the name of a prominent Roman gens; its root is often linked to Greek ioulos “down, soft hair,” yielding meanings like “downy-bearded” or “youthful.” In Russian (Юлий) and Ukrainian (Юлій), the name entered through ecclesiastical and scholarly transmission and gained currency among educated circles in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
