What is the meaning of the name Juda ?

The baby name Juda is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOO-də (/ˈdʒuːdə/); Hebrew: yeh-hoo-DAH.

Juda is Hebrew in Origin.

Juda is a cross‑linguistic form of the Hebrew name Yehuda (Yehudah), from the root y-d-h meaning “praise” or “thanksgiving.” Through Greek Ioudas and Latin Iudas, the name entered many European languages; Juda appears in German and Central/Eastern European records, with related forms Judah (English), Judá (Spanish/Portuguese), Giuda (Italian), and Jude (English/German). Transliterations include Yehuda/Yehudah and Yuda. The feminine cognate is Judith (Hebrew Yehudit, “woman of Judea”), a related but distinct name.

In the Hebrew Bible, Judah is Jacob and Leah’s son, eponym of the Tribe and Kingdom of Judah and ancestor of King David, anchoring strong Jewish usage as Yehuda. Notable bearers include Judah Maccabee and Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi. In Christian tradition, the apostle Jude (Thaddeus) shares the same root, while the form Judas became avoided in many languages; modern English favors Judah or Jude, with Juda preserved in liturgical and regional contexts.
