Justice is a virtue name with a Roman backbone, from the Latin iustitia, and it carries the weight of courtrooms, Supreme Courts, and scales held level. It entered American nursery use through the virtue-name revival of the last few decades, a cousin to Grace, Honor, and Mercy, but with more iron in its spine. Ranked 1164 and fully unisex, it's two syllables that start crisp and end with a hushed s. The name has been worn by athletes and musicians and, more quietly, by ordinary kids whose parents meant it. Principled, plainspoken, a small word that expects a lot of its wearer.
