To decide or public official
Derived from the Middle English word 'juge', which originally comes from the Latin 'iudex'. While primarily an occupational surname or a title for a public official, it has seen occasional use as a bold, virtue-adjacent first name. It implies authority, discernment, and a sense of justice.
