History & Origin
Julyana is a modern variant of Juliana, the feminine of Julian, which comes from the ancient Roman family name Julius, traditionally linked with 'youthful' or 'downy.' Juliana has been used for centuries, borne by saints and royalty, and its inventive spellings multiplied in recent decades. Julyana, with its ornamental y, is one such form, favored among Latino families; it appears in United States records from the mid-1980s and reached its slim high in the early 2000s.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Julyana from that high would be a young adult now. It reads as a living variant rather than a revival, and the standard Juliana remains the form most parents recognize.
