Census
Juliany in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 234 people with the first name Juliany, which placed it at #34,758 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Juliany
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Juliany is Hispanic at 86.8%. The next largest groups are White (10.7%) and Black (1.7%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Juliany described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Juliany at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Juliany
The name Juliany is a feminine given name with roots tracing back to ancient Rome and the Latin language. It is a variant spelling of the more common name Juliana, derived from the ancient Roman family name Iulius or Julius. This name has its origins in the Latin word "ioulos," meaning "downy-bearded" or "soft and tender."
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Juliana can be found in the Christian martyrologies, referring to a young woman named Juliana who was martyred in Nicomedia (present-day Turkey) during the Diocletian persecution in the early 4th century. Her story and veneration as a saint helped popularize the name among early Christians.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the name Juliana was commonly used across Europe, particularly in regions with strong Roman Catholic influences. It was a popular name among European nobility and royalty, with several notable historical figures bearing the name.
One of the most famous bearers of the name was Juliana of Norwich (c. 1342 – c. 1416), an English mystic and author of the influential work "Revelations of Divine Love." Her writings were instrumental in shaping Christian theology and spirituality during the Middle Ages.
Another notable Juliana was Juliana Berners (c. 1388 – c. 1460), an English prioress and author of the influential treatise on hunting, hawking, and heraldry, "The Boke of St. Albans." Her work was one of the earliest printed books in English and had a significant impact on the development of English literature.
In the Renaissance period, Juliana Morell (c. 1594 – 1653) was a influential Spanish philosopher and writer who advocated for women's education and the pursuit of knowledge. Her works challenged the prevailing gender norms of the time and earned her recognition as a pioneering feminist thinker.
During the 18th century, the variant spelling Juliany gained some popularity, particularly in the English-speaking world. One notable bearer of this spelling was Juliany Williams (1761 – 1809), a Welsh poet and writer who contributed significantly to the preservation of Welsh literature and culture.
The name Juliany has also been used by several notable figures in more recent history, such as Juliany González (born 1981), a Puerto Rican actress and singer, and Juliany Zapata (born 1990), a Venezuelan model and beauty pageant titleholder.

FAQ
Juliany: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Juliany?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 195 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Juliany going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,757,715 US residents.
Is Juliany a common name?
We classify Juliany as "Very Rare". It ranks above 73.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 197 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Juliany most popular?
The single biggest year for Juliany was 2012, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Juliany is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Juliany in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 234 people with the name Juliany, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #34,758 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Juliany in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Juliany?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Juliany leans strongly female. 205 people counted with this name were female (85.8%), compared with 34 male bearers (14.2%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Juliany?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Juliany is Hispanic at 86.8%. The next largest groups are White (10.7%) and Black (1.7%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Juliany most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Juliany in the 2020 Census, accounting for 86.8% (203 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Juliany in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Juliany a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Juliany in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Juliany still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Juliany in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Juliany can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
