| Name Meaning: |
Cognate of the Hebrew Jehudith and Yehudit, which are feminine forms of Jehuda and Yehudhah. These names, Anglicized as Judah, mean "he will be praised." Because Judah was also the name of a kingdom in ancient Palestine, the name can also mean "from Judah." The name is borne in the Bible by a woman who saved her people from Nebuchadnezzar's invaders by gaining the confidence of the general Holofernes and cutting off his head while he was asleep. Her story is told in the apocryphal book of Judith |
