Latin / French roots
Juliette is the French form of Juliet, itself from the Italian Giulietta, a diminutive of Giulia (Julia). Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597) created the most famous love story in Western literature, making the name synonymous with passionate, transcendent love. The French Juliette spelling carries a different cultural flavour — less tragic, more sophisticated. Juliette Binoche won an Academy Award and is considered one of the finest actresses in world cinema. Juliette Gréco was the muse of existentialist Paris. The -tte spelling has been climbing the US charts as parents seek the French variant.
