Juditha

Juditha is a feminine given name, a Latinized form of Judith. It derives from Hebrew Yehudit, meaning "woman of Judah" or "Jewish woman." The form Juditha has appeared in Latin and other Romance-language texts and has been used in ecclesiastical, literary, and scholarly contexts since the Middle Ages. In modern use, Juditha is uncommon but may be found in families seeking classical-named forms or religiously tinged names.

One notable cultural usage is Juditha triumphans, an early 18th-century Baroque oratorio by Antonio Vivaldi, composed in 1716. The work uses the Latin form Juditha for Judith, recounting the biblical heroine Judith and her victory over Holofernes; it was written for a Venetian charity institution and is among Vivaldi's best known oratorios.

Beyond that, there are no widely recognized historical or contemporary figures named Juditha, and the name tends to be overshadowed by Judith in most modern contexts. It remains a recognized variant in the broader onomastic family around Latin-derived names.
