Judite is a unique and elegant given name of Latin origin, meaning "praised woman" or "she who is praised". It is derived from the Latin word 'judex', which means judge or jury. This name was popular among early Christians as it was believed to have been borne by some female saints. Judite has also been used in Portuguese-speaking countries such as Portugal and Brazil, where it is considered a traditional name with a rich history. Despite its historical significance, Judite remains relatively uncommon today, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child or themselves.
Judite saw its debut as a baby girl's name in 1974 with five newborns sharing this unique title that year.
