Giuliana Origin and Meaning

The name Giuliana is a girl's name of Italian origin meaning "youthful".

Italian names like Gianna, Giovanna, Ginevra, Giulia, and Giuliana are being used increasingly by trendy baby namers — whether they have Italian roots or not. The Gi standing in for the more conventional J at the beginning seems to automatically make a name more appealing to some, perhaps because it gets you to nickname Gigi.

Entertainment reporter and TV personality Giuliana Rancic is one notable bearer, while footballer Giuliana González, tennis player Giuliana Olmos, and fashion designer Giuliana Camerino are several others.

Currently out of style in its native Italy, the name leapt in popularity in the US between 2007 and 2012, when it peaked at #296. It has been on decline since then, but was still given to 300 girls in a recent year.

# 889 in the US
