Just (given name)

Just is a masculine given name of primarily German and Dutch origin. It derives from the Latin name "Justus," meaning "just," "upright," or "righteous." It is relatively uncommon as a given name in modern times. The feminine form is Justa.

The name saw some usage in the medieval period, particularly among religious figures and those associated with concepts of justice and fairness. While never a wildly popular name, its association with positive moral qualities has maintained its presence, albeit marginal, in naming traditions.

Variants of the name exist in several languages, reflecting its Latin roots.
