Juliana has its roots in the Spanish-Catalan and Italian languages. It is the feminine form of the name Juliano or Julianus. The Dutch Caribbean origin claims that the name is the feminine version of Julian. The name can be interpreted as ‘downy’ or ‘soft hair,’ ‘sky father,’ and ‘youthful.’

Many saints shared the name Juliana or Guiliana during earlier centuries. One notable figure is St. Julian the Hospitaller, famous as the patron saint of hospitality in the Ghent and Macerata. He is also the patron saint for travelers, ferry workers, hotel keepers, pilgrims, and childless people.

St. Juliana of Nicomedia is another important patron saint. She rose to prominence in the Middle Ages and was known throughout the Netherlands as the patron saint of sick people, sickness, and bodily ills. Despite being tortured for her faith, she is remembered for her strong faith and devotion.

Juliana is the preferred form of the name in England and has been used since the 18th century. It is also used alongside the older form of the name Gillian. The masculine forms of the names are Julian in German, Julian in English, Julián in Spanish, Juliano in Portuguese, and Iulianus in Ancient Roman.

Juliane in German, Julianna or Julianne in English, and Iuliana in Ancient Roman are some of the variants of Juliana. A few diminutives of the name are Liane in German, Leanna and Liana in English, and Liana in Portuguese.

The name has been used in the fictional and literary world. For example, Juliana Crain is one of the main characters in the show The Man in the High Castle. In The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot, an animated musical fantasy film, Lady Juliana is Sir Lionel’s wife and is voiced by Jane Seymour, with Céline Dion taking over the singing parts.
