About Tulia

Tulia, rhyming with Julia, is one of several offshoots of the noble Roman family name Tullius, best known as the middle name of the philosopher Cicero. While the single L is considered the Spanish and Polish form, Tullia may be used in Italy. There's also Túlia, a Hungarian form of Finnish Tuuli, meaning "wind".

The whole clan of Tul- names are relatively unknown but may be rediscovered thanks to the fashion for ancient Roman choices, and to its similarity to Tallulah or aforementioned Julia. In fact, 6 girls were called Tulia in the US in a recent year, while variant Tully was chosen nearly 40 times.

Pronounced TOO-lee-uh.

As of October 2026, Tulia ranked #15057 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #13739 in 2008.
