Greek	Romanization (Wiktionary)	Note
Ιουλία	Ioulía	feminine
Τζούλια	Tzoúlia	transliteration

The name is used as a feminine given name.

Ιουλία is the standard Greek form of the name, while Τζούλια is a transliteration of the name into Greek script.

Ioulía

The letter 'J' does not exist in the Greek alphabet, so any name starting with 'J' must be adapted using combinations like 'Τζ' to mimic the sound.
In Greece, the name Ιουλία is often associated with the 'Julian' calendar, though the Greek word for the month of July, Ιούλιος, is actually the masculine version of the same root.
While Ιουλία is the standard spelling, using the 'Τζ' sound in Τζούλια is a way to signal to a Greek speaker that you are referring to a foreigner or a modern Western version.
