What is the meaning of the name Jutta ?

The baby name Jutta is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈjʊta/ — approximate English: "YUT-tah" (German J pronounced like Y).

Jutta is German in Origin.

Jutta is a German feminine name rooted in the medieval vernacular form of Judith, ultimately from Hebrew Yehudit, meaning “woman from Judea” and often interpreted as “praised/thankful.” In German it is pronounced YOO-tah, and the spelling reflects a long-standing adaptation of the biblical name through Middle High German. While firmly associated with Judith, Jutta developed its own independent life in German-speaking regions.

Documented since the Middle Ages, it appears with notable bearers such as the anchoress Jutta von Sponheim, mentor to Hildegard of Bingen, and the charitable mystic Saint Jutta of Kulmsee. The name saw a strong 20th‑century run in Germany and remains familiar across Central and Northern Europe. Related forms include Judith (English/German/French), Judit (Spanish, Hungarian, Catalan), Judita (Slavic/Baltic), Judyta (Polish), Giuditta (Italian), Jitka (Czech), and Danish Jytte. Jutta conveys a brisk, vintage strength with biblical depth.
