Judith

Judith is a girl's name with Hebrew origins, inspired by Yehudit, meaning "praised," "woman of Judea," and "Jewish woman." This biblical name is included in the Greek version of the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Judith, which is also accepted in the Roman canon, so it's ideal if you want a name that'll let you share your faith and heritage with baby. In the Apocrypha, Judith was a heroine who helped the Hebrew army gain victory over the Assyrians. Despite its solemn sound and historic weight, Judith can have a more fun, childlike feel in its nickname of Judy or Judi.
