From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Julia yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Julia held rank 26 in 1880, then recorded its busiest year over a century later, 8,838 births in 2001 — one of very few names that were both genuinely Victorian and genuinely popular a century later. That double life is reflected in 475,798 births accumulated since records began. The current position is 2,359 births at rank 116, a 35% ten-year decline. Its bearers are unusually distinguished and unusually varied: Julia Child, born 1912, filed here with an occupation of typist, which undersells her considerably; Julia Kristeva, Julia Gillard, Julia Roberts. Julie Andrews, born 1935, appears under a different form. Latin in origin and stable in spelling, Julia has avoided the fragmentation that splits Allison and Hailey across four variants each.
