Juh is an Indigenous Apache given name best known from the Nednhi Chiricahua leader Juh (c. 1825–1883), a contemporary of Geronimo. The spelling reflects English and Spanish attempts to render a Chiricahua Apache sound; sources do not agree on a precise etymology, and its meaning is considered obscure, as many Apache personal names were descriptive and context-bound. Used today only rarely, it functions as a gender-neutral choice and can honor Southwestern Native heritage.

Variant renderings in English are sparse; Ju sometimes appears as a simplified form, while historical documents show inconsistent transcription. There are no direct cognates, though related Apache names like Cochise, Naiche, or Goyaale (Geronimo) belong to the same cultural sphere. In an unrelated note, juh is the Hungarian word for sheep, not used as a given name. Modern associations lean toward resilience and leadership due to its notable bearer.
