Justis is English, French in Origin.
Rooted in Latin iustus “just, righteous,” Justis is a modern spelling that bridges the classical Justus and the English virtue name Justice (via Old French justice and Latin iustitia). It carries the meanings “fair,” “upright,” and “lawful,” appealing to parents drawn to moral or judicial associations and a streamlined look.
Bearers named Justus appear throughout early Christianity - several saints and New Testament figures (Joseph called Barsabbas, surnamed Justus; Titius Justus). In English-speaking use, Justus reemerged after the Reformation, while Justice surfaced as a Puritan virtue name; Justis gained ground in late 20th‑century America as a phonetic update. Though largely masculine, it can read unisex today. Related forms include Justus, Justice, Justin, Justo (Spanish), Giusto (Italian), Juste (French), Joost (Dutch), and the feminine Justine/Justina.
