Is Juli a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Juli has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 87 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Juli: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Juli, and how old are they?
5,640 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 89% of the 6,351 Americans ever recorded as Juli. The median Juli alive today is 58 years old; half are between 50 and 65.
The 2020 Census counted 7,103 people named Juli (7,014 women and girls, 89 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 5,799 born in the U.S. The Census count is 22% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Juli rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Juli is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Juli is most over-represented in Washington: since 1926 it was given 1.9 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Juli with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 1,005,229 babies since 1880, Juli is the third most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 15 of their 2,526 babies (<1%), the fourth most given that year.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
