Jutta Origin and Meaning

The name Jutta is a girl's name of German origin.

Jutta is a feminine name with Germanic origins, functioning as a medieval German form of Judith. The name Judith comes from Hebrew, meaning "woman from Judea" or "praised." Jutta has been used in Germany and Scandinavia for centuries and remains moderately popular in these regions. It gained some recognition in English-speaking countries through Jutta Kleinschmidt, the first and only woman to win the Dakar Rally. The name has a strong, distinctive sound with its crisp consonants. While uncommon in the United States and United Kingdom, Jutta offers an interesting European alternative to more familiar names like Judith or Julie.
