Yehudah
to Judah
A personal name meaning 'Yehudah' or 'Judah'; used for (1) a son of Jacob/Israel and Leah, (2) the tribe formed by his descendants, (3) the territory allocated to that tribe, and (4) later geographic and political entities associated with that region. 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). The name itself may carry the idea of 'thanksgiving' or 'praise.'

SIBI-P1 Translation H3063-02
to Yah-is-praised
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל ("to/for") + proper masculine singular name יְהוּדָה (Yehudah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to") prefixed to the proper name יְהוּדָה, whose etymology derives from ידה ("to praise") with a theophoric element referring to Yah. Rendering it as "to Yah-is-praised" preserves both the directional prefix and the root-based meaning embedded in the name. |
