Origin
Meaning and history of Yuliett
The given name Yuliett is believed to have originated from the Spanish language and culture. It is a variant spelling of the name Juliet, which itself is derived from the Latin name Iulietta, a feminine form of the Roman family name Iulius.
The name Iulius is thought to have originated from the Latin word "ioulos," which means "downy-bearded" or "young and soft." This suggests that the name Yuliett may have been associated with youthfulness, softness, or delicateness in its early origins.
One of the earliest and most famous references to the name Juliet is in William Shakespeare's tragic play "Romeo and Juliet," believed to have been written around 1595. In the play, Juliet is the young, passionate, and ill-fated lover of Romeo, and their forbidden love ultimately leads to their tragic deaths.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Yuliett or its various spellings. One such person was Yuliett Kuenzler (1847-1919), a Swiss-born American painter and etcher who was known for her landscape and genre paintings.
Another was Yulietta Anne Avery (1876-1962), an American actress and playwright who performed in several Broadway productions in the early 20th century. She was also a prominent member of the Provincetown Players, a renowned theater company in Massachusetts.
In the realm of literature, Yulietta Holtzmann (1853-1931) was a German-born American author and translator who published several novels and short stories, as well as translations of works by renowned German writers such as Goethe and Schiller.
Yulietta Semyonovna Rhvostsova (1886-1933) was a Russian painter and graphic artist who was associated with the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, including Suprematism and Constructivism.
Lastly, Yuliett Lian (born 1987) is a contemporary Venezuelan model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Venezuela in 2009 and later represented her country in the Miss Universe pageant.

FAQ
Yuliett: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yuliett?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 48 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yuliett 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 7,140,715 US residents.
Is Yuliett a common name?
We classify Yuliett as "Very Rare". It ranks above 53.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 48 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yuliett most popular?
The single biggest year for Yuliett was 2018, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yuliett is about 7 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 Yuliett in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yuliett a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yuliett 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 Yuliett still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yuliett 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 Yuliett 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.
