Julka Origin and Meaning

The name Julka is a girl's name.

Julka is a feminine name with Slavic origins, primarily used in countries like Poland, Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia. It functions as a diminutive form of Julia or Julianna, names derived from the Roman family name Julius, possibly meaning "downy-bearded" or "youthful." The suffix "-ka" adds an affectionate, familiar quality in Slavic languages. Though uncommon in English-speaking countries, Julka enjoys moderate popularity in Eastern Europe.
