About the name
A French diminutive of Julie, Juliette goes back through Julie to the Latin Iulia. Shakespeare's Juliet, heroine of Romeo and Juliet, carries the English form of the same name, which gives Juliette a romantic literary echo. No separate meaning is attested for it.

Juliette is a French classic and one of the leading girls' names in France today. It is a top-10 name in Quebec, and it is also used in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ontario and Ireland. It reached its peak in France around 1999 and has eased a little since, falling in more places than it is rising, though it remains a familiar and well-loved choice.
