Meaning & origin
Yudith is a rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1981. It reached its peak popularity in 2007, but has been falling in use since 2008. In 2025, it ranked 11,932, with approximately 1 in every 229,610 newborns receiving the name. The name is likely a variant of Judith, a biblical name with Hebrew origins. Yudith has not been widely adopted in any particular region, as it has no top states. Its rarity may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with traditional roots.
Yudith is likely a variant or alternative transliteration of Judith, derived from the Hebrew name Yehudit, meaning 'woman from Judaea' or 'Jewish woman'. Judith appears in the Bible as a heroic figure, and the name has been used across European cultures for centuries. The spelling Yudith may reflect modern cross-cultural adaptations or a direct transliteration from Hebrew.
