Judah (Hebrew: יְהוּדָה, Standard Hebrew: Yəhuda; Tiberian vocalization: hello llalalla Yəhûḏāh, "Celebrated, praised") is the name of several Biblical and historical figures. The original Greek text of the New Testament makes no difference between the names "Judah", "Judas" and "Jude", rendering them all as Ioudas; but in many English translations "Judah" is used for the figure in the Tanakh and the tribe named after him, "Judas" is used primarily for Judas Iscariot, and "Jude" for other New Testament persons of the same name. The Bible itself mentions no other people of the name, except the original one; however, it became a very common name among Jews in Hellenistic times and remains such up to the present. The name Judah can refer to:
The Kingdom of Judah, the kingdom dominated by the Tribe of Judah and ruled by the House of David, from the breaking off of the Kingdom of Israel following the death of King Solomon until the Babylonian Exile
Judea, the former territory of the Kingdom of Judah after its demise (c. 586 BC), being successively a Babylonian, a Persian, a Ptolomeic and a Seleucid province, an independent kingdom under the Hasmoneans regarding itself as successor of the Biblical one, a Roman dependent kingdom and a Roman province.
Jew is derived from Hebrew "Yehudi" יהודי (literally, "Judean"); the derivation is more clear in German "Jude" and in Slavic "Zid".
Judean Mountains, modern Israeli name for the mountains around Jerusalem, politically divided between Israel and the Occupied West Bank
Judea and Samaria, Biblical term for the area now generally known as the West Bank, the term in its modern usage is disputed by most Palestinians as implying a claim for continued Israeli-Jewish possession.
Judah Maccabee, leader of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid empire
Judah Nagler, singer, guitarist and songwriter for indie-pop band The Velvet Teen
Bnei Yehuda, Israeli football team (literally, "Sons of Judah" or "Sons of Judea")
