History & Origin

Giulietta is the Italian diminutive of Giulia — Roman Julia, from the clan Julius traditionally tied to 'youthful' — and the form behind Shakespeare's Juliet (drawn from Italian novellas). Fellini's wife and muse Giulietta Masina and the elegant Alfa Romeo Giulietta carry it.

In the U.S. it is a rare Italian-heritage romance, with Giulia and Etta as nicknames. Four syllables of balcony moonlight.

Did you know? Verona's 'Casa di Giulietta' draws lovers from around the world to a fourteenth-century balcony — the Italian Giulietta, not the English Juliet, presides over the real pilgrimage.
