Meaning & origin
Tulio is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1914. It has never entered the top 1,000 rankings, and its usage has remained stable at very low levels, typically with fewer than five births per year. The name peaked in 1914, the same year it first appeared, indicating that it has never achieved widespread popularity. Tulio is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the Roman family name Tullius, which is famously associated with the Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero. Because the name is so uncommon, it does not appear in any top states in U.S. Social Security data. Parents choosing Tulio are often drawn to its classical roots and melodic sound, offering a distinctive alternative to more common names like Julio or Mario.
