Meaning and history
Julieta is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Juliet, itself an English form of Italian Giulietta, a diminutive of Giulia or Julia. Julia comes from the ancient Roman family name Julius, whose original meaning is uncertain. The name’s strongest literary association is Juliet Capulet in Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, adapted from earlier Italian tales. Notable bearers include Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas and Argentine actor Julieta Díaz.
Julieta rose from #347 to #285 for girls between 2024 and 2025. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 1,086.
