A Korean name for Julio

How to write Julio in Korean
In hangul, Julio is written 훌리오 (hul-li-o) — three syllables: 훌 (hul) · 리 (li) · 오 (o).
That spells the sound of Julio in Korean letters — a transliteration, not a name. A Korean given name is composed from syllables Koreans actually use in names, anchored to hanja that carry meaning. The closest one for Julio is 주리, below.
리 is shared by 훌리오 and 주리. The transliteration has three syllables and the Korean name has two, so the name match drops 훌 and 오 and adds 주.
