In Hungary the name appears in records from the early 20th century and enjoyed mid-century familiarity, helped by stage and screen bearers such as actress Komlós Juci and by the popular cartoon character Jucika (a further affectionate form). Related forms and variants include Judit, Judith, Judy, Judi, Júlia, Julia, Giuditta, Judita, and Jutta, while Hungarian nicknames parallel to Juci include Jutka and Jucika. In Lusophone countries, Juci also surfaces as a short form of Jucilene, Juciane, and similar names.
