The baby name Justice is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒʌstɪs/ (JUS-tis).

Justice is English in Origin.

Justice is an English given name taken from the virtue word, ultimately from Old French justice and Latin iustitia “righteousness, equity,” rooted in iustus “just, fair.” It also appears as a transferred surname derived from the judicial title. Adopted by English Puritans as a moral ideal, Justice is recorded in 17th‑century Britain and New England and has seen modern unisex use, especially in North America, with periodic surges since the late 20th century.

The name conveys ideals of fairness, integrity, and lawful order, while also carrying a strong, contemporary surname style. Variants and related forms include Justus (Latin/German/Dutch), Juste (French), Giusto (Italian), and the cognates Justin and Justine; modern spellings such as Justis, Justise, and Justyce also occur. Short forms range from Jus to Justice as-is. Meaning centers on moral rectitude and equity, appealing to parents seeking a principled, modern choice.
