Juliet is the English form of the Italian Giulietta, a diminutive of Giulia (Julia). Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (c. 1597) created literature's most famous love story, based on earlier Italian sources. Juliet's balcony speech (O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?) is the most quoted passage in English drama. The name carries the full weight of the world's most iconic romance. Juliet has been climbing the US charts, entering the top 200 as parents rediscover its classical beauty beyond the tragic ending.
