Origin
Meaning and history of Yulemni
The given name Yulemni is believed to have its origins in the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. The name is thought to be derived from the Etruscan word "yulemnir," meaning "blessed one" or "favored by the gods."
The earliest known reference to the name Yulemni can be found in a collection of Etruscan funerary inscriptions dating back to the 6th century BCE. These inscriptions were discovered in the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri, located near Rome, and suggest that the name was commonly used among the aristocratic families of the region.
One of the most notable historical figures to bear the name Yulemni was an Etruscan noblewoman who lived in the 5th century BCE. Her name is recorded on a terracotta sarcophagus discovered in the ancient city of Tarquinia, and she is believed to have been a prominent figure in the religious and cultural life of the city.
In the Middle Ages, the name Yulemni underwent a slight transformation and appeared in various forms, such as Yulemnio and Yulemnae, in medieval Latin texts and ecclesiastical records. One notable figure from this period was Yulemnio di Siena (1225-1292), an Italian friar and theologian who played a significant role in the development of the Franciscan order.
During the Renaissance period, the name Yulemni experienced a resurgence in popularity, particularly among the aristocratic families of Italy. One of the most famous individuals to bear this name was Yulemni Borghese (1568-1633), a noblewoman and patron of the arts, who commissioned numerous works from renowned artists such as Caravaggio and Bernini.
In more recent centuries, the name Yulemni has been relatively uncommon, but a few notable individuals have carried it forward. These include Yulemni Caruso (1873-1921), an Italian operatic tenor renowned for his powerful and emotive performances, and Yulemni Montessori (1870-1952), the Italian educator and physician who developed the influential Montessori method of education.
Throughout its long history, the name Yulemni has maintained a strong connection to its Etruscan roots, reflecting a sense of blessedness, favor, and nobility. While it may not be a widely recognized name in modern times, its rich cultural heritage and association with influential figures make it a unique and intriguing choice.

FAQ
Yulemni: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yulemni?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yulemni 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Yulemni a common name?
We classify Yulemni as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yulemni most popular?
The single biggest year for Yulemni was 1996, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yulemni is about 29 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Yulemni in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yulemni a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yulemni 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 Yulemni still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yulemni 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 Yulemni 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. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
