In 2025, 23 babies in England and Wales were named Judith. In the US, 319 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 25,209 in 1943.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Judith was most common in 1940, when it went to 1.89% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
