Judas Name Meaning, Pronunciation, and History

Judas Name Details

Judas is a biblical name that is derived from the Hebrew name Yehudah, meaning 'praised' or 'he will be praised'. In the Bible, Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ who betrayed him for thirty pieces of silver, leading to Jesus' crucifixion. Due to this negative association, the name Judas has become uncommon and is often avoided by parents when naming their children.
