About the name Giulia
Giulia is the Italian form of Julia, the feminine of the Roman family name Julius. The origin of Julius is uncertain; it has been linked with the Greek ioulos, meaning downy-bearded, which gives the traditional sense youthful, and also with the name of the god Jupiter. The Julian family, which claimed descent from Iulus, son of Aeneas, included Julius Caesar. In the Renaissance, Giulia Farnese, sister of Pope Paul III, was painted by artists of the Roman court. The diminutive Giulietta is the Italian name of Shakespeare’s Juliet, whose story is set in Verona.
