Yulie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 196 people with the first name Yulie, which placed it at #38,869 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Yulie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yulie is Hispanic at 55.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (26.5%) and White (15.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Yulie described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Yulie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Yulie
The name Yulie is thought to have originated from the Russian language, possibly derived from the Slavic name Yuliya, which itself is a form of the Latin name Julia. The name Julia can be traced back to the ancient Roman gens (clan) Julia, one of the most prestigious patrician families in ancient Rome.
Yulie's connection to the Roman name Julia suggests it may have been in use as early as the 1st century BC, when the gens Julia rose to prominence in Roman society. However, the earliest recorded instances of the name Yulie itself are difficult to pinpoint with certainty.
One of the most notable historical figures to bear the name Julia, from which Yulie likely stems, was Julia Domna. She was a Roman empress and wife of the emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211 AD. Julia Domna was known for her influence in political and intellectual circles during her husband's reign.
Another famous historical figure with a similar name was Julia Soaemias, who lived in the early 3rd century AD. She was the mother of the Roman emperor Elagabalus and played a significant role in his rise to power.
In the realm of literature, one notable bearer of the name was Julia Ward Howe, an American poet and author who lived from 1819 to 1910. She is best known for writing the lyrics to the famous Civil War song "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
In the field of science, Julia Morgan was an influential American architect who lived from 1872 to 1957. She is renowned for her work on the Hearst Castle in California and numerous other notable buildings.
Lastly, in the world of entertainment, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a celebrated American actress who was born in 1961. She is best known for her roles in the TV shows Seinfeld and Veep, for which she has won numerous awards.
While the name Yulie may have originated from the Roman Julia, its journey through history has taken it across cultures and languages, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human societies and the enduring influence of names.

FAQ
Yulie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yulie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 50 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yulie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 6,855,087 US residents.
Is Yulie a common name?
We classify Yulie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 54.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 50 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yulie most popular?
The single biggest year for Yulie was 2010, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yulie is about 13 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Yulie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 196 people with the name Yulie, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #38,869 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Yulie in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Yulie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Yulie leans strongly female. 193 people counted with this name were female (97.5%), compared with 5 male bearers (2.5%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Yulie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yulie is Hispanic at 55.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (26.5%) and White (15.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Yulie most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Yulie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 55.6% (109 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Yulie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yulie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yulie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Yulie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yulie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Yulie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
