The story
Juliette is Julia gone to Paris. The root is the Roman family name Julius, traditionally read as youthful, and the -ette is the French finishing that turns a name into something said with a slight smile. Shakespeare's heroine wears the plainer Juliet; the two-T form keeps its passport. Its American record is remarkably patient: between about 950 and 1,500 girls every decade from the 1910s through the 1980s, eight straight decades of quiet constancy while fashions roared past. Then the volume rose, about 2,100 in the 1990s, 4,700 in the 2000s, 13,000 in the 2010s, and 11,500 so far this decade. In our records it is a girls' name outright, about 40,900 to five. Families who want it faster say Jules. The balcony is optional; the name works fine at ground level.
