Justis Origin and Meaning

The name Justis is a boy's name of French origin.

Justis is a masculine name representing an alternative spelling of Justice, which derives from Latin 'justitia' meaning 'righteousness' or 'equity.' This spelling variation emerged primarily in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive twists on virtue names. While the concept of justice has ancient roots as a virtue, its use as a personal name became more common during the Puritan era and has seen a revival in modern times. The name carries strong connotations of fairness, moral integrity, and ethical strength. Justis offers a slightly more unique presentation than the standard spelling while maintaining the powerful meaning. Though not among the most common names, it appeals to parents drawn to names with clear virtuous associations and contemporary styling.
