She says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
What she is saying is that what a thing is does not depend on the name we call it. Roses smell nice, and they would smell nice if we called them blumen or cats or even turds. If you call something by a different name you don't change it.
She is thinking about Romeo. She has been taught to think that she should hate anyone whose name is Montague. But, she thinks, a name is only a label. If you slap it on someone, they do not become a monster. She loves Romeo, and finding out that his name is Montague does not affect that. " 'Tis but thy name that is mine enemy, not thyself."
At age 13, Juliet is much smarter than the majority of people, who are convinced that a rose by any other name would not smell as nice.
