Origin
Meaning and history of Judtih
The name Judith is of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name Yehudit, which means "woman of Judea" or "Jewish woman." It is a feminine form of the name Judah, which refers to the biblical kingdom and tribe of Judah. The name dates back to ancient times, with its roots in the Old Testament.
One of the earliest and most prominent references to the name Judith can be found in the Book of Judith, an ancient Jewish text dating back to the second or first century BCE. In this text, Judith is a beautiful and courageous widow who saves her people from the Assyrian army by decapitating the enemy general, Holofernes.
The name Judith became popular in Christian tradition, likely due to its biblical origins and the heroic story associated with it. In the Middle Ages, it was a common name among European Christians, particularly in England and other parts of Western Europe.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Judith is Judith of Bavaria (805-843 CE), the daughter of King Louis the Pious and Queen Ermengarde of Hesbaye. She was a Carolingian princess and a prominent figure in medieval history.
Another notable figure named Judith was Judith of Flanders (c. 1033-1094 CE), who was the Countess of Northumbria and later the Countess of Huntingdon. She played a significant role in the Norman conquest of England and was a powerful political figure in her time.
In the Renaissance period, Judith was the name of Judith Arundell (c. 1561-1598), an English Catholic martyr who was executed for her faith during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. She is recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church.
The name Judith also has literary associations. One of the most famous examples is Judith, the protagonist of the 17th-century play "The Tragedy of Judith" by Italian playwright Giambattista Guarini. The play was based on the biblical story of Judith and Holofernes.
Another notable figure named Judith was Judith Leyster (c. 1609-1660), a Dutch Golden Age painter who was one of the few women artists to achieve significant recognition and success during her lifetime.

FAQ
Judtih: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Judtih?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 4 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Judtih going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 85,688,585 US residents.
Is Judtih a common name?
We classify Judtih as "Very Rare". It ranks above 6.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Judtih most popular?
The single biggest year for Judtih was 1943, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Judtih is about 84 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Judtih in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Judtih a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Judtih in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Judtih still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Judtih in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Judtih can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
