Jülide (Turkish: Jülide) is a historically attested Turkish female name meaning 'a curl' or 'ringlet' — specifically a lock or curl of hair. The name is used in Turkey and among Turkic-speaking communities and is appreciated for its poetic, visual quality rather than any direct scriptural source; it is therefore not a Quranic name. In modern usage Jülide sits alongside other Turkish feminine names such as [[Elif]] and [[Elvan]] in registries and contemporary name lists. The name's imagery links to beauty and refinement in Turkish naming aesthetics and is chosen for its melodic sound and classical resonance.
