Julita

Julita is a Polish feminine diminutive of Julia, itself the Latin feminine form of the Roman family name Julius, whose root is uncertain but may relate to the Greek Ioulos, meaning downy-bearded or soft-haired, originally a poetic term for youth. The name Julia was widely borne in ancient Rome, notably by Julia the Elder, daughter of Emperor Augustus. Julita carries the same classical heritage while functioning as an affectionate or familiar form in Polish-speaking communities. Related forms include Julie, Juliette, and Giulietta.
