About the name Juliete

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), citing Machado (1981), gives Juliete as originating from the French Juliette, a diminutive of Julie; Behind the Name also describes Juliette as a French diminutive of Julie, a form of Júlia. Júlia is the feminine of the Roman family name Julius, whose origin is uncertain: perhaps from the Greek ioulos, 'downy-bearded', or linked to the name of the god Jupiter. The ending -ete comes from the French -ette, and that from the Latin -eta, a diminutive affix. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 11,583 people named Juliete, with a median age of 32.
