Census
Jullie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 601 people with the first name Jullie, which placed it at #18,056 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 Jullie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jullie is White at 67.9%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (14.1%) and Hispanic (9.2%). 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 Jullie 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 Jullie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jullie
The name Jullie is believed to have originated from the Latin name Julia, which itself is a feminine form of the Roman family name Julius. The name Julia was borne by several prominent historical figures in ancient Rome, including the mother of Marcus Brutus, who was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar.
In its earliest roots, the name Julia is thought to be derived from the ancient Roman word "ioulos," which meant "downy-bearded" or "youthful." This connection suggests that the name may have been associated with youthfulness or vitality in its ancient origins.
One of the earliest recorded bearers of the name Julia was Julia Caesaris, the only daughter of the Roman emperor Augustus. She lived from 39 BC to 14 AD and was an influential figure in her own right, known for her political involvement and connections to the imperial family.
Another notable historical figure named Julia was Julia Domna, who lived from 170 AD to 217 AD. She was the wife of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus and played a significant role in the administration of the empire during her husband's reign.
In the Middle Ages, the name Julia remained in use, though it was often spelled differently, such as Juliana or Gillian. One famous bearer of the name during this period was Juliana of Norwich, an English mystic and anchoress who lived from 1342 to around 1416. She is known for her influential work, "Revelations of Divine Love," which is one of the earliest known works written in the English language by a woman.
During the Renaissance, the name Julia regained popularity, particularly in Italy. One notable bearer of the name from this period was Julia Gonzaga, an Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts who lived from 1513 to 1566. She was known for her involvement in the cultural and intellectual circles of her time and was a supporter of artists and writers.
In more recent centuries, the name Julia has continued to be used, with various spellings and variations emerging, such as Jullie. Notable individuals with this spelling include Jullie Vivian Buencamino, a Filipino actress and singer born in 1976, and Jullie Doty, an American writer and editor born in 1962.

FAQ
Jullie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jullie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 365 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jullie 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 939,053 US residents.
Is Jullie a common name?
We classify Jullie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 81.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 456 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jullie most popular?
The single biggest year for Jullie was 1962, when 19 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jullie is about 54 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jullie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 601 people with the name Jullie, or 0.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,056 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 Jullie 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 Jullie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jullie appears almost entirely female. Of the 603 people counted with this name, 99.0% were female and only a very small share were male. 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 Jullie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jullie is White at 67.9%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (14.1%) and Hispanic (9.2%). 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 Jullie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Jullie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 67.9% (408 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 Jullie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jullie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jullie 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 Jullie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jullie 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 Jullie 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.
