People

  • Judah (Biblical figure), a son of the patriarch Jacob and, according to the Bible, ancestor of the Davidic royal line of ancient Israel.

By Hellenitic times Judah (Heb. Yehudah) had become a common first name among Jews (whose collective name - "Yehudim" יהודים in Hebrew - is also derived from the same source) and, in the English form Judah, has remained so up to the present. Specifically, it was a common first name in the first century AD Jewish society inside which Christianity came into being.
