Meaning & origin
Justis is a modern spelling of the virtue name Justice. First recorded in 1975, it saw a small peak in 1996, but has since been declining. Despite its rarity, the name has a straightforward meaning: fairness and righteousness, derived from Latin iustitia. It is a unisex name, though historically slightly more common for boys in the U.S. The name has not been among the top 1000 names in recent years, reflecting its niche appeal.
Justis is a modern spelling variant of the English virtue name Justice. The name Justice derives from the Latin word iustitia, meaning "righteousness, equity." As a given name, Justice and its variants like Justis emerged in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States, as part of the trend of using virtue names and word names.
