Julietta

Julietta is a feminine form of the name Juliet, which is derived from the Latin name Julius. The name Julius was a Roman family name that may have originated from the Greek name 'Ioulos', meaning 'downy-bearded'.

Juliet, and by extension Julietta, is most famously associated with the tragic heroine of Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet'. In the play, Juliet is a young woman from a wealthy Italian family who falls in love with Romeo, a member of a rival family.

The name Julietta is a romantic and melodic name that evokes images of love, drama, and tragedy. It is a variant spelling of Juliet that adds an extra 'ta' ending, giving the name a slightly more exotic and feminine sound.

While Juliet is the more common spelling, Julietta has been used as a given name in various cultures and languages, particularly in Italian, Spanish, and Eastern European communities.
