Juliette is a female given name of French origin, derived from the French word 'juliet' which means 'young'. This name has gained international recognition largely due to Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", where Juliette is the female protagonist's first name. It is pronounced as /ʒy.lɛt/ in French and /dʒuːˈlɪt/ in English. Juliette was particularly popular during the mid-20th century but has since declined in usage, though it remains a charming choice for parents seeking a name with a touch of classic elegance and international appeal.
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.
