If you click there, you can traslate your name. But, Judith comes up as nothing.

My best guess is that it is prn. YOU-dith, or you-DEETH.

An expert at Spanish names will probably reply soon, and give you a better translation :)

Thanks

well, i'm not an expert, but the 'j' in Judith would be pronouned like the soft 'g' in Dutch (if you know what it mean; it is hard to explain on internet, you'll have to hear it to understand when you didn't understand before, argh)

so it would be gou-DITH ('dith' like the ending in Madrid (= mah-DRID)) with a soft 'g' (i think argh has a soft 'g' but i'm not sure how to pronounce 'argh')

to add to that...(m)

i forgot to say that it's written Judit (without the 'h')

I think it would be prononced "khoo-dit".
