Julieta is the Spanish form of Juliet, that Shakespearean daughter of Verona whose name has echoed through four centuries of balconies and ballrooms. It traces back to the Roman Julius, a family name possibly derived from the Greek for downy or youthful. Three syllables in Spanish, hoo-lee-ET-a, the J softening to a soft H sound, the name rolling warmly off the tongue. Pedro Almodovar's 2016 film Julieta brought it fresh attention, and it has risen on American charts alongside Isabella and Sofia. The name carries both balcony-scene romance and Spanish warmth. Julieta suits a girl with dark curls and a steady, knowing gaze.
