🌟Miss 
USA 2026 was recently 👑crowned and the winner was the impressive 👌🏾: 👸🏽Justus Kelley from Virginia.
But the name 📛Justus is actually a masculine name (and not to be mistaken for the similar sounding 📛⚖️Justice). 😯 Behind The Name says 📛Justus is, "is a Latin name meaning: just, lawful, upright. This name was borne by at least eight saints (e.g. 😇Saint Justus of Canterbury)."
📛Nameberry🍒 describes 📛Justus as, "More unusual than Justin, less word-like than Justice, this New Testament name could make an intriguing choice. After being off the popularity lists from 1904 to 1993, it is now being used in steady numbers. As of September 2026, Justus ranked 📈#1952 in US births in 2025 [according to SSA], peaked at 📈#589 in 1880."
A variant of it is the peculiar: 📛Iustus. 🦄
The 
Lithuanian form is: 📛Justas — masculine even though it sounds feminine. 🤔
The feminine form of Justus BTN points out is: 📛Justa. 🥰
📛NB🍒 says, "Justus ⬆️peaked for girls at 📈#2810 in 1995. As of September 2026, Justus ranked 📉#12501 in US births in 2025 [according to SSA]."
📍California and 📍Vermont are where the most Justuses live, including 📍Texas.
I love the name 📛Justus (although it's not a alternative of 📛⚖️Justice (one of my favorite names), I can't not see it as an extension of it 🤷🏽♀️). I like it for a girl 💓 but... I like it just a little more for a boy. 💙 But I would definitely use 📛⚖️Justice for a girl over 📛Justus — or go with the feminine form: 📛Justa (which is too cute!).
