Juliette is a feminine given name of French origin. It is the French form of the Latin name Julia, which means "youthful" or "downy," referring to the down on a young bird's feathers. The name Juliette has been popular in France for centuries and was made famous by William Shakespeare's tragic romance "Romeo and Juliet." In this play, Juliette is the female lead who falls in love with Romeo Montague despite their families' feud. Despite its association with this sad tale, Juliette remains a beloved name that evokes charm, elegance, and timeless beauty.
Juliete was quite popular in the late 90s and early 2000s with six girls named each year from 1999 to 2000, followed by a dip to five in 2001. There were no records for 2002 but it picked up again with seven births in 2003. After another gap until 2010, six more Juliettes were born that year and then the name really gained traction with eighteen girls named Juliete in 2011. However, this trend didn't continue as only five Juliettes were born in 2012. Overall, a total of fifty-three girls were named Juliete between 1999 and 2012.
