Ἰούδας G2455
Judas / Judah — proper name from Hebrew yehudah, borne by the patriarch, the betrayer, and several others
Ioudas is the Greek form of Hebrew Yehudah ('praised' or 'thanksgiving'), used in the New Testament for at least seven distinct individuals. The patriarch Judah appears in the genealogies (Matt 1:2-3) and the tribal designation 'lion of the tribe of Judah' (Rev 5:5). The most frequent referent is Judas Iscariot, whose name has become virtually synonymous with betrayal in every language — Spanish 'Judas,' French 'Judas,' German 'Judas,' all carrying that somber overtone. Other bearers include Judas son of James the apostle (Luke 6:16; John 14:22), Judas the brother of Jesus (Matt 13:55; Jude 1), Judas of Galilee the rebel (Acts 5:37), Judas called Barsabbas (Acts 15:22), and Judas of Damascus who housed Paul (Acts 9:11).

1. Judas / Judah (proper name) — The proper name Ioudas (from Hebrew Yehudah), applied to multiple individuals across the NT including the patriarch Judah son of Jacob (Matt 1:2-3; Rev 5:5; 7:5), Judas Iscariot the betrayer (Matt 10:4; 26:14-47; John 13:2, 26-30), Judas son of James the apostle (Luke 6:16; John 14:22; Acts 1:13), Judas the Lord's brother (Matt 13:55; Jude 1), Judas of Galilee (Acts 5:37), Judas Barsabbas (Acts 15:22, 27), and Judas of Damascus (Acts 9:11). The geographic and tribal use — 'land of Judah' (Matt 2:6), 'tribe of Judah' (Heb 7:14) — preserves the patriarchal connection. 37×
