Looking at this site's Pronunciation Guide, the Swedish pronunciation should be more like YUU-lee-uus (or perhaps YUW-lee-uws, I have a hard time telling the difference between UU and UW). You can listen to the Swedish pronunciation here: https://forvo.com/search/Julius/sv/ UY as in French "feu" (used as an example in the Pronunciation Guide) sounds more like how Swedes pronounce the letter Y.

Because they didn't have j's in Latin the Romans would have started this name with an I which is why it is pronounced yoo`lius. (Also as a side note, they didn't use u's either and instead used v. So this name would look like this: IVLIVS.)
