| Core Meanings | man of Kerioth, Keriothite, inhabitant of Kerioth |
| Semantic Range | inhabitant of Kerioth, Judean from Kerioth, personal epithet distinguishing Judas from others of the same name |
| Conceptual Significance | The epithet distinguishes Judas from other disciples named Judas and likely marks his Judean origin, setting him apart from the largely Galilean Twelve. It becomes permanently associated with Judas the betrayer, embedding geographic identity into the narrative memory of his role. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; functioning as a proper noun or epithet identifying a specific man. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from a Hebrew expression meaning "man of Kerioth" (’ish qeriyyot), indicating geographic origin. Rendering it as "Kerioth-man" preserves the root sense of place-based identity while reflecting the nominative masculine singular form used as a personal epithet. |
