Origin
Meaning and history of Yulianny
Yulianny is a feminine given name that has its origins in the Russian language. It is a variant spelling of the name Yulia, which itself is derived from the Latin name Julia. The name Julia can be traced back to the ancient Roman family name Julius, which was derived from the word "ioulos" meaning "downy-bearded" or "youth."
The name Yulianny likely emerged in the late 19th or early 20th century as a variation of the traditional Russian name Yulia. It is possible that the added "nny" suffix was influenced by other Slavic languages or regional dialects, but the precise origin of this particular spelling is uncertain.
While the name Julia has a long and storied history in the ancient Roman world, with notable figures such as the Roman empress Julia Domna (170-217 CE) and the poet Julia Balbilla (c. 2nd century CE), records of the specific variant Yulianny are scarce in historical texts and documents.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Yulianny was Yulianny Mikhailovna Naryshkina (1808-1892), a Russian noblewoman who served as a lady-in-waiting to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Another notable bearer of the name was Yulianny Dmitriyevna Olenina (1853-1938), a Russian artist and painter known for her landscape and portrait works.
In the 20th century, Yulianny Yakovlevna Sokolova (1897-1986) was a Russian-Soviet actress and theater director who made significant contributions to the Moscow Art Theatre. Yulianny Vasilyevna Lazarevskaya (1910-1989) was a prominent Soviet economist and author who specialized in labor economics and wage theory.
Additionally, Yulianny Konstantinovna Semyonova (1932-2017) was a renowned Soviet and Russian ballet dancer and teacher, who was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR in 1976.
While the name Yulianny has its roots in Russian culture and language, it has also been adopted and used in other Slavic countries and regions over time, further contributing to its diverse linguistic and cultural heritage.

FAQ
Yulianny: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yulianny?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 23 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yulianny 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 14,902,363 US residents.
Is Yulianny a common name?
We classify Yulianny as "Very Rare". It ranks above 42.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 23 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yulianny most popular?
The single biggest year for Yulianny was 2023, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yulianny is about 4 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 Yulianny in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yulianny a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yulianny 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 Yulianny still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yulianny 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 Yulianny 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.
