Juli

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Juli: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1977.

Juli is a streamlined spelling of Julia or Julie, ultimately from the Roman family name Julius—itself possibly linked to Latin *iuvenis* meaning “youthful” or to a root for “downy-bearded,” evoking early adulthood. Though less common as a standalone name in Scotland, it appears as a variant across Europe, notably in Hungarian where Juli is a familiar short form of Júlia. Famous bearers include Juli Furtado, the American mountain biker, and Julián is the masculine counterpart. No major places directly share the name, but the Julian Alps and Julius Caesar echo the family name’s legacy. Modern parents may be drawn to Juli for its crisp, international feel—a fresh alternative to Julie that retains a timeless, sunny charm.
