Yehudah
and 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 H3063-07
And Yehudah
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + proper masculine singular name (Np). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction ו ("and") prefixed to the proper name Yehudah, derived from the root ידה ("to praise, thank"). Preserving the name in transliteration maintains its root connection to praise while accurately reflecting the prefixed conjunction. |
