Judas: A Name Defined by History

Judas is a name almost entirely defined by its biblical association, making it exceptionally rare in the USA and globally. Originating from the Hebrew Yehudah, meaning 'praised', it was a common name in ancient Judea. However, the figure of Judas Iscariot has indelibly linked the name to betrayal and negativity. Consequently, it’s rarely used as a given name today, carrying a heavy emotional weight. The name is overwhelmingly masculine and evokes a somber, unsettling mood. Its historical presence is largely confined to religious and scholarly contexts.
