Judas
Proper name used for several individuals; primarily refers to (1) Judah, the ancestral figure after whom the tribe and region of Judah are named, and (2) various individuals in the Second Temple and New Testament periods bearing the name. The name designates both the patriarch Jacob's son and his descendants, as well as later persons living in Judea or identified with the group. In the New Testament, it is most commonly used for specific individuals such as Judas Iscariot (one of the twelve disciples), Judas the brother of James (another disciple), and several others.
