Yehudah
from Judah

In early sources, it refers primarily to the individual and his descendants as a group (the Judahites); in monarchic and post-monarchic texts, it increasingly refers to the southern Israelite kingdom (the Kingdom of Judah) and then to the inhabitants of that territory (Judahites).

SIBI-P1 Translation H3063-03
from Yah-is-praised
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (min, "from") + proper masculine singular name יְהוּדָה (Yehudah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the proper name יְהוּדָה, whose etymology derives from ידה with a theophoric element, conveying the idea "Yah is praised." The rendering preserves both the prefixed preposition and the root-based meaning of the name. |
