Julie is the diminutive or "pet form" of the English name Julia. It's spelled exactly the same in Spanish, Julia (pronounced [hoo'-lee-ah] ) The Diminutive form is pronounced similarly, but spelled differently to get the "J" sound. In Spanish we use the "Y" to get that sound. Also, Spanish does not have what we call in English the Silent "E". So it's spelled: "Yuli"
