Girl name · #110 in 2025 · Well-known
Juliette is currently the #110 girl name in the United States — 2,460 babies received it in 2025. A decade ago it stood at #227, so the name has been rising over the past ten years. Roughly one in every 732 girls born in 2025 was named Juliette.
The 144-year story
Juliette first appears in the Social Security records in 1881, when 9 girls received the name. Its all-time peak is essentially right now: 2025, with 2,460 babies and a rank of #110. Names at their peak can keep climbing — or be one trend cycle from the long slide that eventually hits most popular names. Following the curve matters more than today's snapshot: a name's position on its rise-peak-decline arc is the best predictor of how common it will feel in a kindergarten class five years from now.
