A name that means "justice".

Justitia is from the Latin iūstitia (justice) — Roman goddess of justice. Justitia is the Roman goddess of justice, equivalent to Greek Themis and Dike. She is the source of the iconic Lady Justice figure — blindfolded (impartiality), holding scales (weighing evidence), and a sword (executing judgment) — adopted as the universal symbol of Western legal systems.

Where Justitia stands.

Justitia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
