A name that means "youthful".

Yulia is the Russian form of Julia, descending from the Roman family name Julius, and carrying the sense of youth — bright, fresh and full of life.

A warm classic across Russia and Eastern Europe, it has an easy, sunny sound and the affectionate nickname Yulya.

Timeless and lively, Yulia is Julia with a Slavic lilt.
