Judit is Hebrew, Hungarian in Origin.
Judit is the Hungarian and Catalan form of Judith, ultimately from the Hebrew Yehudit, meaning woman of Judea or Jewish woman, and, by association with the verb yadah, praised/thankful. The name is tied to the biblical heroine Judith of the deuterocanonical Book of Judith, a courageous widow who saved her people by defeating Holofernes; this association lends Judit connotations of resolve, piety, and strategic bravery.
Carried into Europe through the Latin form Iudith, the name has been used since the Middle Ages in Jewish and Christian communities. The Judit spelling predominates in Hungary and Catalonia, and is also seen in Spanish and Basque contexts. Variants and cognates include Judith (English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian), Yehudit (Hebrew), Yudit (Yiddish/Ladino), Giuditta (Italian), Judyta (Polish), and Judita (Czech, Slovak, Slovene). Diminutives and short forms include Judi/Judy (English), Juci and Jutka (Hungarian), and Dita (Slavic).
