Judith, often spelled as Judithe, is of Hebrew origin and means "woman of Judea". It was popularized by the Apocryphal book of Judith, where it belongs to the heroine who saves her city from an invading army by seducing and beheading their commander. The name has been used throughout history, including being borne by several saints and queens. Today, Judithe remains a unique yet elegant choice for parents looking for a distinctive name with a rich historical background.
"The name Judithe was most popular between 1937 and 1942, with a peak of 11 births in 1941. After that period, its popularity declined and remained relatively low until the most recent recorded year, 1965."
